best wiki?
Filed in: ed tech, miscellaneous Add comments
i can’t expect anyone to be reading this, but if you come across it and have experimented with wikis, i’d like some advice on the best wiki to use when writing a textbook. i am fiddling with dokuwiki, but i am not sure it’s best. i read it was good for writing technical manuals, which isn’t the same thing as an ed tech textbook, but at least it’s something. i am probably going to fiddle with some other options this week and even look at some non wiki options (e.g., Drupal book module). hmmm.

i just checked it out. it’s more than i’d like to spend . . . i take that back, they have licensing for small time users that could make it free for me right now. if i grow, i can upgrade. but the ability to integrate Microsoft Word is really nice. doh, on a Mac i’d have to use Neo Office. not a deal killer, but it would be nice if they’d add Word for Macs. but i can still start in Word and then move stuff to Neo Office quite easily. i have been using Word and it’s a hassle with my current tools to go from Word to the Web using copy and paste. i’ll download, install, and check Confluence out. thanx.

my company is trying Tikiwiki and so far it is doing everything Confluence and the other big name wikies can do (again so far) but it is free. I’m a fan.
