Here's a Wiki demo: I just recently started to setup a semi-public Wiki site to collect resources related to web application technologies. It's a work in progress but should be enough to give you a good idea of what this Wiki stuff is. Note the following details: - Every page has an Edit button. Everyone can edit/contribute. This is a certain risk but experience shows that it works well in most communities. Try it, looks at the content, add something useful. :-) - Every Wiki word establishes automatically a topic, i.e. a sub-page. Wiki words are words smashed togehter like a AnExampleWikiWord. - A very simple markup language is used to edit the content. It takes you five minutes to learn it. - There is a build-in search feature. - You can track changes and revert to any ealier version (CVS like) http://www.teamup.com/webdev/ I've been useing Wiki for a long time, mostly company-internal, to maintain shared knowledge. I has been very useful. I support very much the idea of setting up a Wiki based Struts community tool. Note that my site uses a Perl-based Wiki. We should of course use the Struts-based Chiki for this.
