Hi Radhika! I am currently using http://www.mediawiki.org which is the wiki-engine behind Wikipedia. I decided to use mediawiki since most of my students are already familiar with Wikipedia. But I will definetely have a look at the other engines that were suggested... Good luck! Steffen p.s. link to my smeinar wiki (in german) http://wiki.medienwissenschaft.de/index.php?title=Netzwerkmedium_Internet M.B.Gaved wrote:
Hi Radhika
I used pmwiki ( http://www.pmwiki.org/ )for a community informatics workshop - http://kmi.open.ac.uk/events/ci2005/
it worked really well.
You need to install it on a machine you have ftp access to that's running php and can webserve php pages, but you don't need mysql or similar. I found that I could set it up and tweak it quite a bit just knowing my way round html code.
So probably in the middle between setting up a wikipedia style fully fledged wiki, and using a bit of space on somebody else's server.
good luck!
