How to build a wiki website for internal company use

Hi Everyone,

I hope you can help me please:

At work, due to increasing and on-going work projects, we found the system of emailing each other and attaching Word docs quite tiresome due to the increasing workload. We then wondered about an internal Wiki type website/page whereby I could use it to update my work progress and people the other end could do the same. I assume by being live, or having the facility to be updated frequently, means we are more up-to-date and do not need to keep sending long emails.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this at all?

Has anyone come across this before and if so, could you point me in the right direction on how to start building a Wiki website/page.

Many thanks, Gareth

Why reinvent the wheel, just use some wiki software that's already been built.

http://www.basecamp.com would actually be better for this purpose.

Personally I like Asana better than basecamp but project management software and wikis are 2 entirely different things.

The first is for collaboration on tasks the second is to store documentation.

Ah, ok. Thanks for clarifying this for me James.

I have bookmarked Asana too. I will check with my co-worker and see what he thinks.

Thanks for all the advice.
