We've been happy with it so far at L&S LSS, (but our design requirements have been rather low up to this point). If you're looking for a solution that doesn't involve a local server, I've been happy with wikispaces.com and have heard good things about pbwiki.com This may be way too much information, but here are a few resources for comparing wikis: - http://wiscwikis.wikispaces.com/technical+topics - a compilation of technical topics on wikis, including resources on choosing a wiki platform - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_software - wikipedia's big comparative list of wiki software - http://www.wikimatrix.org/ - site devoted to comparing wiki software Doug >>> On 6/29/2007 at 12:37 PM, in message <[log in to unmask]>, LLTI-Editor <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > --- Forwarded Message from Lauren Rosen <[log in to unmask]> --- > >>Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2007 13:47:23 -0500 >>From: Lauren Rosen <[log in to unmask]> >>Subject: Re: #8578 best wikis for teaching? >>In-reply-to: <[log in to unmask]> >>To: Language Learning and Technology International Information Forum > <[log in to unmask]> >>References: <[log in to unmask]> > > Hi Scott, > > There are lots of options out there for you.
