I did some research into it and figured out that DekiWiki would best suit some basic needs:<br><br>- Simple to use (no weird pseudo html knowledge needed), in other words, uses a WYSIWYG editor<br>- Free, Open source<br><br>I noticed the HBRC uses Media Wiki, which is a pretty good wiki (Wikipedia uses it), but I found one that I think is better which is Deki Wiki. Deki Wiki is actually derived from Media Wiki. It uses a WYSIWYG editor, which makes it easy for everyone to use and more likely for people to contribute. There are a couple ways to use Deki Wiki. One is to install the software on a machine that has internet access or another way is to use wiki.is to make a wiki

I'll
second,
or
is
it
third,
that!!!<br><br>I
have
seen
many
fine
postings
pass
through
this
list,
as
well
as
the<br>other
robotics
mailing
lists,
but
David's
recent
posts
on
how
it
is<br>actually
done
are
most
excellent.<br><br>Recently
the
Home
Brew
Robotics
Club
started
a
wiki
where
they
are<br>attempting
to
build
up
a
large
knowledge
base
on
all
things
robotic. <br>Perhaps
we
should
consider
something
similar,
or
at
least
contributing
to<br>theirs:<br><br><a href="http://hbrobotics.org/wiki/index.php5/Main_Page" target="_blank">http://hbrobotics.org/wiki/index.php5/Main_Page</a><br><br>It
is
generally
easier
to
find
information
in
a
wiki
than
in
mailing
list<br>archives.<br><br>Ed

Amen

Great
work
David.
I
think
the
amateur
robotics
community
as
a
whole
gains<br>>
when
people
take
the
time
to
think
something
through
and
document
it.<br>>
Given
the
fact
that
it
is
an
amateur
community
we
to
often
think
we
are<br>>
off<br>>
the
hook
in
the
documentation
dept
and
that
only
hurts
ourselves
(used
in<br>>
the
context
of
the
larger
group).
When
I
see
these
sorts
of
posts
I<br>>
smile<br>>
and
know
that
our
peers
and
those
who
come
after
us
will
benefit
greatly,<br>>
so<br>>
I
offer
up
my
humble
praise
to
you.
-Thank
You.<br>><br>>
