== Advice on choosing a wiki platform == | |||
Help, I'm a wiki newbie and am a little overwhelmed with all of the options. (My apologies for the horrible formatting, I'll eventually get the hang of it) | |||
I'm writing a non-fiction book on love and dating and need to organize my research and allow select users to collaborate on the content. I will eventually open up the wiki to the public. | |||
My wiki research indicates that wetpaint or scribble wiki are my best options... but I don't understand the space well enough to know which to choose, or whether to explore other options. | |||
Here are my needs: | |||
Price range: Free would be nice, or under $15 a month | |||
Usability: I'm obviously going to need a WYSIWYG interface | |||
Bells & Whistles: I'd like 'em all. Preview, Section editing, email notification etc. | |||
Domain: I don't need to use my own domain | |||
Hosting: Someone else should host it, I'll just make a mess | |||
Security: I need flexibility to control who is able to view and participate for the first few months, then be able to open it up. | |||
Ads: I'd like the option of controlling some of the ad space. I don't need this right away, but it may become important. I don't mind other ads being on the page if they're not obnoxious and overly prominent | |||
Any advice? | |||
