Put MediaWiki to Work for You

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Sunday May 21, 2006 @06:41AM 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?"

So... On one hand people are spending some more time in reading the injokes of their work-buddies but on the other hand, people are consumed by endless edit-wars.
I can see how helpful it can be for a company.

Seriously though, a friend of mine actually did install a wiki under the same premises of the article. They are having lots of fun with it, but it hardly helped their workplace.
