We are very happy with Confluence at UCLA. It supports the wiki metaphor of a pool of labeled/tagged documents with a hierarchical directory-like structure, so you don't have to choose between the two models. Although I usually edit pages in the wiki markup view, many of our users prefer the very friendly gui. Academic pricing is 50% of the regular license for a local version. If you want to avoid the effort of administering your own server, you can sign up for Altassian's hosted service called On-Demand, although I'm not sure if the discount applies. --Gary -- -- Gary Thompson -- Development Supervisor -- UCLA Library Information Technology -- 390 Powell -- voice: 310.206.5652 -- On 7/24/2012 3:33 PM, Cary Gordon wrote: > You might want to look at Atlasssian Confluence.
