Free Wiki?

Does anyone know of any free web based or other wiki that I can use for personal projects? :confused I want to be able to use it as a place to search for solutions, etc.

 

I'm not exactly clear about what you're asking.... Wikipedia is free and a great source for information of all types.....

 

Well, Wikipedia is based on the Wiki idea. An open database where everyone can add data and search it as well, via a browser, etc.

Definition of a Wiki:
A website or similar online resource which allows users to add and edit content collectively.

I'm going to make a Wiki, say, just for troubleshooting personal computers. You can have a search bar to type in things to search for, or users can browse through titles, tabs, what have you. Kind of like Wikipedia, but for my use and whoever I want to let use it. But I will only have the ability to add to it, not everyone.

 

If I understand it right, you want to run your own knowledge base.

If true, you can use the same engine that Wikipedia uses - MediaWiki. Or try some other free tools, like KnowledgebasePublisher or Orbit FAQ.

 

Yes. :clap:clap:hyper:hyper:dancer:dancer:celebrate:celebrate

Thank you. I will check those sites out.

 

Check out Zulupad from http://www.gersic.com/zulupad/

I use it for a database on various, and varied, subjects from Sierra Leone (a country where I worked) to Tips and Tricks, XP, and Vista info, etc.

One proviso, keep more than 1 copy (backup in different Folders) and make sure you click "Save" if it asks. It is a bit fussy and you could lose your hard work. I learned the hard way and I keep a copy in my external Hard drive each time I modify the original. Bazza

 

Thanks, I'll check those links out as well. :dancer

Thanks, I'll check that one out as well. :cool

 

Let us know the plusses and minuses of the various suggestions if you can. And what one you finally decide on. It will help us all, and increase our knowledge. Bazza

 

I sure will, but it will be awhile before I can really let anyone know the outcomes. It's a big project that I'll be working on. And a project that I've never done anything like before.
