This is jdelbridges first wiki. He will attempt to learn to be a proficient wikier. He hopes to learn how to use Wikis so he can empower nonprofit organizations to harness Wiki's power of collaborative documentation to strengthen community efforts.

[edit] Purpose

I am looking for an easy way to setup a wiki site for small to mid sized community nonprofit organizations to better connect with the community stakeholders (residents, businesses, community leaders and elected officials).

[edit] Format

I believe formatting this and other Wiki pages will be very important as I develop Wikis. This page will not only be a lesson for me in learning how to be a good Wili author, but also a test of the PBwiki site.

[edit] Markup

I would like to find an application of Wiki that uses exactly the same markup as Wikipedia. This is because I believe although the code is reletivly easy to learn, having two sets of markup to learn for two Wikis will be to confusing for me.

[edit] Links

There are two types of links in a wiki:

  1. Internal Links are refrences to other pages in the same site.
  2. External Links are hyperlinks to sites other than the current site. An example of this follows:[1]

[edit] Contents

The automated table of contents is an importnat feature to me. I would like to make sure this feature works in PBwiki

[edit] Conclusions

After my first post, I realized PBwiki is not the application I hoped for. It is too commercial and does not share all of the same markup as mediawiki.
