funny! because of your "like", I'm now going to discover your page more - as I would have without your like as a newborn JIRA user (just 3 weeks old!)

"Good analysis! I think the point was just to suggest to you to have more than one option (be it product, solution or outcome) available."

Google already picked up the post I published yesterday plus two shares from FriendFeed (Louis Gray, Fruchter) and several Tweets. If you blog getting your posts shared makes a huge difference in how fast and how many times each post gets indexed in search engines.

I use Zoho Wiki. It's so incredibly robust and ridiculously easy to use, especially for making links. I got one of my wikis up in half a day.
- Admiral Anika
Second Zoho Wiki. PBWiki is also pretty easy, but not as flexible unless you pay.
- Nine
Zoho didn't do it for me at all - I found the formatting to be overkill and I don't think I was able to [[create new pages as easily as I wanted to]].
- Daniel J. Pritchett
On Twitter people are saying, Mediawiki, EditMe, or PBWiki. Anyone use those? I'll give Zoho a look.

I have something on wetpaint and it works nicely. It allowed me to embed the widgets I wanted, the skins were nice, and it had reasonable wiki functionality. Data import sucks for all the ones I looked at. For migrating an existing wiki I had I chose to install mediawiki on a hosting service. I wouldn't recommend that unless you want to put a lot of work into it.
- Todd Hoff
Thanks everyone. We'll see if these people want to head in that direction. I hope so cause Robohelp is not cutting it.
- Shevonne
Robohelp is good for some things. Never even consideered it as a Wiki tool.
- Nine
Google Sites is pretty good. It is easier to use than a traditional wiki and I think is better than Zoho
- Bindu Reddy
+1 for Google Sites, we're using it for the PureDarwin website, and haven't had that many problems, except for the fact that their URLs are ugly unless you use your own domain name
- Tyson Key
Can you user Google Sites on your own server?
- Shevonne
Still, it's more reliable that what we were using for the project wiki, and I can count on Google not to suddenly walk away and lock us out (as happened to the admin of the server we had).
- Tyson Key
Google Sites+ Clean and functional.
- Sean McBride
The problem is that you can't host it on your side. My company won't go for that. We work with government agencies that are all about privacy
- Shevonne
Just checked out Zoho Wiki -- I can see why some people would select it over other choices. Excellent interface and features.
- Sean McBride
On all these I would run a pilot test before selecting. It may seem obvious, but there are odd restrictions in many products. If you must have a local install then try Confluence (http://www.atlassian.com/softwar...). It is pretty full featured and reliable.
- Todd Hoff
Great discussion here. RoboHelp is an online help compiler - but assumably you are controlling source FrameMaker or Word. Or maybe HTML. If this is your goal - one path. But now you don't get all the WIKI collab features as well. Atlassian Confluence allows for it all - can do prod doc (http://xrl.us/bebm4a); ex of their doc (http://xrl.us/o2do5). All of it SEO indexable.

ALSO though can have WIKI collaboration spaces; for example: http://xrl.us/beetye. And all content can be exported to Word, PDF, XML, or embed Word, PDF, Excel, widgets, feeds (RSS, google data, etc.) and so much more. Here's a video (23 mins) that speaks 1000 words. http://xrl.us/bec7oz . Free eval download and/or personal license: http://xrl.us/becwof. Check it out yourself. Have fun TOO - most importantly!!! :)
- Ellen Feaheny
If other questions or wish for a shared desktop demo to bounce ideas or questions - feel free to find me on twitter or friendfeed. @ellenfeaheny or @clifftopinc. Happy WIKI evaluating!
- Ellen Feaheny
I tried Wikia and Wetpaint a while back, and ended up being more frustrated than anything and finally just installed Mediawiki. A lot of the frustration was due to "helpful" WYSIWYG features when I just wanted to write the straight wiki code that I was used to from Wikipedia.

RT @jboursiquot: planning next set of releases using Jira. Confluence has done a great job w/this issue tracking tool. totally recommend - http://twitter.com/ellenfe...
A few months ago, we and Atlassian announced their SharePoint Connector for Confluence, which impressed both customers and analysts. Now, ThreeWill, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner specializing in developing SharePoint-based solutions, which helped design and implement the SharePoint Connector, will describe how they did it.
