Success

Previously, there were some issues with the IT staff getting a wiki set up. After working through some security concerns, we were finally able to install a wiki engine to get an in-house wiki up and running.

After shopping around various engines, I selected dokuwiki. It is fully functional, and is very simple to use, both from an administrative point of view as well as for users. On the user front, just a few minutes of training can have anyone comfortable w/ word processing able to create and edit pages. This is especially important, as the client hopes to have a small number of people using the wiki.

I spent the morning transferring pages on Important People from an html format to the wiki, so now the thing is starting to take shape.

The next step will be to add users and ensure that security settings are all lined up so that particular people have varying degrees of access to the wiki.
