Wikis at Work I sold the team on the idea of using a Wiki for a good project collaboration tool. I wanted to use SnipSnap because it looks good, but I noticed on it's Feature Matrix that there is no file upload. Shucks - that might be a show stopper. I'll probably end up using Very Quick Wiki.

Hi, I also searched for a Java based Wiki some time ago. I decided to use Vqwiki, because at that point of time it was the only Java wiki that was easy to install and had the most important features. I also took a look at SnipSnap recently and I agree it has some really nice features. But that's not really a surprise, because it's "Made in Germany" ;)

I am trying to convince some of our team here that we should use a Wiki, the developers are on board, but it's harder convincing the network and system guys, what are some of the items that you have used in the past for the Wiki or what ammo can you give me? Thanks!

Sean - I really didn't need to convince anyone. They'd actually never heard of a Wiki before, so I just set one up on my local machine and sent out the URL. We might move it to a webserver in the future, but the network and system guys won't even know/care about it.

Sorry, I forgot the Ammo. I think the greatest use of the Wiki is for documentation and links/bookmarks. It's much easier to keep this stuff in a central location than to keep sending e-mails. It's also great for describing how to configure machines, checkout from CVS, and other development type of tasks. Using the Wiki syntax makes it even easier than writing a Word document.
