Put MediaWiki to Work for You

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the howtos-and-other-meme dept.

NewsForge (Also owned by VA) is running a short writeup on how to put MediaWiki to work for your organization. The writeup includes several addition tools that could be helpful in rounding out the overall package. From the article: " Imagine how useful it would be to have an online knowledge base that can easily be updated created by key people within your organization. That's the promise of a wiki -- a Web application that 'allows users to easily add, remove, or otherwise edit all content, very quickly and easily,' as Wikipedia, perhaps the best-known wiki, puts it. Why not bring the benefits of a wiki to your organization?"

      People won't be late for work, though, because the Governor lady said, "I'm sending in more trains."

    Because of recent vandalism, or to stop banned editors from editing, editing of this page by new or unregistered employees is currently disabled. Please discuss changes on the talk page, or request unprotection. Anyone continuing to propogate stories about the CEO, the monkey and the baby oil will be severly reprimanded.

    Back in the day, we used these thingies called "text editors" to do all that stuff. But definitely, it's worth sending everybody in the company off to a two-week training course so's they can learn to format real purdy-like.
