Social Text, an enterprise wiki solution
I was given a tour of Social Text’s enterprise wiki software yesterday. Social Text has “optimized” open source wiki software for the enterprise by bringing more structure and ease of use to wikis. For example, it is far easier to upload and view a document in Social Text than it is in Mediawiki an open source alternative.
But what really caught my interest was not the upload functionality but rather the weblog functionality which displays groups of wiki pages belonging to a specific category in a weblog format organized by date. This is a great way to get a meta view of all the content pertaining to a specific subject Two other interesting features, you can post to the wiki by emailing content to an email address and you can instant message members by clicking on their im screen names handles within social text. Their im handles are faded out if they are offline. View the other functionality included.
