Now that I am off to a running start on this dissertation thing, I am interested in getting a decent handle on the process. The actual process I will talk about more (in another blog no doubt), but additionally (or perhaps redundantly) I want to also create a wiki, to "officially" and publicly collect the artifacts and research.
I tried doing the same for my Master project, however, it did not go as well has I had hoped. Some of it had to do with the project. (the project was a series of lessons with various links, forms, and methods on teaching youth on various skills leading to a major documentary project), but mostly it had to do with the wiki I chose to use. I could make the content for the project and then cut & paste easily to finalized document. That made the whole thing -needless to say – very problematic.
So this time, I am giving some careful thought to the implementation of an appropriate wiki to serve these highly specific needs. Wikimatrix is a site that helps you pick the best wiki software for your needs. These are some of thte features I need from the new wiki.

• Maintain a reading and read biblist for the research including with an accurate references (therefore, it needs to accept XML publicaiton direct from the product I use called papers)
• Permit
• RSS feed
• status updates

I hope to have most if this done setup by the end of the weekend.
