Re: Make a Wiki?Wikis are excellent tools for storing information, but they are not without their own problems. The biggest problems I have seen have been wikiwars (not really an issue with a small community of users), and poor structuring. It's the latter issue that is the biggest one IMO.While I haven't played much with MediaWiki (which appears to be a flat-view wiki), threaded wikis such as Twiki can end up as a tangled mess if they aren't structured well *before* the bulk of the content is created. If MediaWiki suffers from this same problem, it may be best to have a moderator create the wiki pages, and only let users modify previously created pages.Thoughts from those who have used MediaWiki? Requests for content?
