| well it was used for doing question pages... like online inside quiz thing...everyone could edit the page change everything including the questions that way a lot of people learned how to use html and basic asp...in the end it kind of boosted everyones knowledge.Go with the flow & have fun!

I looked at it for internal intranet knowledgebase. Decided we were better with a strucured application instead. I think it would be fine if everyone got "into" it, but the syntax is weird (things like 6, or maybe 8, consecutive apostrophes to stop words becoming WikkiWords - or should that be W''''''''ikkiWords  and as we are an HTML shop a content management system that lets us change anything, but also to use HTML formatting, struct us as leveraging our skills better [don't yer lurve that phrase!] and allowing precise formatting when needed.We added Snitz Forum for the rest ...Kristen |

| I think that given my current level of users it's a recipe for disaster. I doubt the network guys could handle it never mind joe bloggs. Interesting idea thoughTo alcohol ! The cause of - and solution to - all of life's problems |

have a look at a CMS system perhaps?There's a comparison site at http://www.cmsmatrix.org/ - it looks a bit user-hostile at first, but there's lots on info in there once you "ken" the format they use.Kristen |

| Thanks Kristen, that looks really useful. I had considered Contribute but my networking friends won't allow it. At least this gives me some more options.steveTo alcohol ! The cause of - and solution to - all of life's problems |
