Waka Wiki Thanks Alex... this could hardly be simpler on a wiki front: WakaWiki. Nice easy comments feature too! But I can't help but feel that features like: Page 'security' controls Page access controls WYSIWYG editing (inc. images, tables, photos with comments as here) Email / RSS Updates Are going to decide the day. I mean, ease of use is important but people don't wanna learn wiki-speak, they just want fill in a box and click 'Create new page', click on a button and 'add an image'. I'm starting to think that a major issue with wikis has been that they're not, on the whole, aligned with what people know and expect... if this is gonna work in a non-IT context then it's gotta be foolishly simple with subversion incorporated into it :o) Wikis 'aint incorporated subversion... they're just subversion! 11:18:33 AM    comments   trackback

More Wikis... enterprisey ones As Tom Suggested, Confluence looks pretty neat, it's a one off US$2000 enterprise wiki system (Acad. price). It's certainly pretty and it's got among all the basic functionality you'd expect RSS and all! I also like the 'breadcrumbing' structure. Not to sure about the price tho' and what it makes up for in prettiness it seems to lose (on a VERY brief exploration) in simplicity. Hmmmm... interesting... Hell, if I'm going to start thinking about these then it's also worth looking at Courseforum which is a kinda wiki-based courseware management system... it has a free system, which is cool and is dead simple to use (and includes RSS :O). But again... I'm not sure if we wouldn't be overshooting the mark with a course system and, politically, whether we'd be seen as encroaching into territory the Uni's already paid $$$$$$s to set up. 11:03:40 AM    comments   trackback

Congrats to Fray! Most excellent storytelling site Fray is now officially most excellent because it's won a webby! I must reread Design for Community sometime soon... Powazek just keeps 'em coming :o) 9:59:18 AM    comments   trackback

Editme... progwiki or wikifree Tom wonders about the intuitiveness of editme and whether "more "sophisticated" wikis are going to become progressively less wiki-like." 9:42:50 AM    comments   trackback

Scholars Discover Weblogs Pass Test as Mode of Communication ""Blogologists" assemble at our virtual roundtable to discuss how blogs are changing academia, politics and traditional journalism. They see them as being important, but school is still out on whether they are journalism..." [online journalism review] I think they should have interviewed Greg ;o> Seriously though! 9:31:51 AM    comments   trackback

Mail to the Future How cool is this! Via Peter who posts about the potential uses of this in reflecting over, say, a term or so.   "The purpose of this site is to allow you to send mail to yourself or others at a specified date and time.. in the future!" 9:25:09 AM    comments   trackback
