I experimented with changing a resource guide I already had into a wiki. Part of this was because I’m lazy, and copying & pasting the content seemed easier than creating an entirely new wiki. I used my Guide to Mobile Devices as my starting point for my new wiki LSUHSC Wireless Resources
I really like how wetpaint offers various template designs for your wikis. Especially cool is the ‘classroom’ template which offers space for syllabi, assignments, etc. It’s easy to set this up when you first create the wiki, however I couldn’t find it very easily after telling it “no thanks”. (oh wait, there it is, whenever you create a new page it is available as an option)
Other annoyances…while the copy/paste functions translate well, the ‘undo’ feature doesn’t always work. I lost about 10 minutes of work that way & discovered there’s no autosave, like I’m used to WordPress blogging software & various google software providing.
