Well its not like I been dreading it.. just postponing the inevitable. So yes, I use wikis, and a few of them. I have one at work. I have on for my research. I have one I share with colleagues. I have a few more for some of the smaller workshops I have conducted.
Up until now, simple wikis worked. Ning and PBworks were quite sufficient. After all, even though they were wiki’s the predominant user was, well me.
Now, I have to have a number of people that need to access my wiki -add documents, add comments, create blogs. AND it would be much better if it came with my domain name. I mean after all I am creating it and organizing it. Something like joyworks.pbworks.com sorta looses its zing. Instead, how about courses.joyrobinson.com/nm503 or the like. Now that sounds nice. But that means an install and some headache.
But, I guess I have postponed it for quite long enough and now I am ready to dive right in. I could do it with Drupal, if I just want to shoot myself in the foot multiple times a day. (And somedays I am up for that, but I am in a painless mood). Or I could tackle a software that wont need to be squeezed into a box like that. A wiki software makes more sense, even though Drupal would be more extensible. I think..wiki wins out.
And after not having really liked any, I might as well choose one I have used. Thus, wikkawiki wins out.
Everyone take a collective breath in, and then out, as I launch wikkawiki for my next class.
