    Hello,
    I posted the message below last Friday asking for any information on
    Wikis and Firm Intranets. I received many responses to post the
    information and only one response which included information. The
    individual's firm initially used Mediawiki but changed to Zohowiki since
    it contained a WYSIWYG editor which was easier to use as they did not
    need to learn HTML. Additionally, I have spoken with our IS Director
    and we currently have Microsoft's SharePoint wiki software on hand so we
    will probably end up using that if it fits with what we want to do.
    Thanks for your assistance.

    Subject: [LAW-LIB:55010] Wikis and Firm Intranets

    Hi everyone,
    our firm is considering using a Wiki to design and build an Intranet.
    I wondered if anyone out in library land has set one up for their firm
    in the past and can offer any advice and/or would be willing to let me
    take a look for example purposes (I understand completely if you
    can't!). I am also interested in what Wiki software you used, why you
    chose it, and how user friendly it was for your patrons to begin using
    it. I will administer the site so any advice is appreciated!
     
    Thanks,
    Mary Aldridge
