Subject:Re: Anyone using Wiki for collaboration? From:"Edwin Wurster" <eawurster -at- hotmail -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 16 Apr 2002 09:03:22 -0400
Long time ago I tried Wiki. Didn't like it.
Just now I tried Twiki.
Do you think a "typical" collaborator will have trouble with this tool? I
think there is a significant learning curve.
Working remotely, I found Twiki to be very slow on a cable modem connection.
Installed locally, the performance will be much better.
I realize that very complex webs can be built with this. Someone with HTML
experience and admin time could set this up and support users I'm sure.
For my use, I'd like to see a tool that is remotely hosted and much easier
to use. If it has ads, that would be ok.

Hello listers! I've just started using a Wiki for collaboration and
communication in my office. I'm curious to know if anyone on Techwr-l
also uses a Wiki internally at their company.
