I am very curious as to why people would even want to install a wiki on their own machines (Windows or otherwise).
To me, the main benefit of a wiki is that it is a shared repository of knowledge to which everyone has access. Such a wiki would be installed and maintained by the IT support team (or local guru, perhaps) on a server. Access is then as simple as "open your browser"! No barrier to entry at all. I think that for private note taking people are already using tools like Evernote or OneNote and I cannot see a "local" wiki replacing them. >>> Jason Morris <[email protected]> 02/08/16 10:22 AM >>> I tried (without success) to get people using JSPWiki internally in our faculty (Agriculture and Environment at the University of Sydney). At first, the majority were all gung-ho about using a wiki.. that was no problem. The barrier to entry was that they expected it to install like installing MS Word or something. Just a "one-shot and it just works" experience. As soon as I explained that they had to first install a servlet container (what's a servlet??!?!!) and fill out all this configuration stuff, they quickly lost interest. -- This message is subject to the CSIR's copyright terms and conditions, e-mail legal notice, and implemented Open Document Format (ODF) standard.
