Re: [Foundation-l] Private Wiki

For wiki-style collaboration I usually use either PBWiki (or pbworks, 
whatever, it's all the sme company) or sites.google.com

Both allow for FREE, private, multi-user, instant, online collaboration 
using a free online smart editing engine.  Same as Wikipedia.

And the results of that collaboration on both, are mark-up pages that are 
viewable privately if you wish, or publicly if you wish.

I've found a shared Google Doc surprisingly usable in practice. (Even
shows changes in slightly-behind-real-time!) Lacks history, though.

This worked when I tried it a year or so ago.

Caveat: I only gave it a cursory once over, so it may not thwart a determined 
person sniffing about.

 Hi James,

Hello

I use pbworks, basic plan (free)
https://plans.pbworks.com/

Indeed, that is not mediawiki, but I find that specific wiki quite 
confortable to work with and the hosting service is good (not lagging 
horribly as other wiki farms are something doing).

I have been testing it for roughly two months and feel happy about it. 
Currently considering going for the for-pay plan to use it for my 
business to communicate with my clients.

The basic plan allow only one space, but this space can be closed. So it 
should fit your needs.

Alternatively, you may set up your own mediawiki (I also have one), but 
this require
* hosting service
* domain name
* install and updates

To be fair, unless you are a total geek and mediawiki fan, I would 
recommand the no-hassle pbworks solution.

There are a number of services offering you MediaWiki installations in the 
cloud, where you can just get a MediaWiki, like Wikia or Referata. Both have a 
free plan that may suite your needs.

Cheers,
Denny
