Sharon,
This sounds like a wonderful idea.
I would prefer the PBwiki option, since it appears more "stable."
I missed the meeting, but I appreciate you are willing to do this.
Thanks,
Andrea

Subject: [lawvoyage] Voyager wiki & law libraries
Hello everyone,
One of the topics that came up for discussion at the Voyager Law Users
Group at AALL last week was the possibility of creating a wiki for us to
use. I volunteered to check out the possibility of us posting a page
(or more) on the existing Voyager wiki, which was originally created by
the Small Libraries SIG after EndUser 2006. Though it was created by
Small Libraries, any Voyager library of any size or type is welcome to
create or edit pages there. I contacted the current site administrator
for the wiki and he confirmed we are all most welcome to create a
law-related page (or pages) on this site--you just need to go in and
create an account in order to create or edit pages. However he also let
me know that the wiki may be changing administrators and/or hosting
services within the next several months (as it's currently hosted on his
personal account), so we need to be aware that changes to the current
environment may be afoot. If you would like to take a look at the
current Voyager wiki, it's at
http://www.voyagerwiki.com/index.php?title=Main_Page and the login and
password are both "voyager."
The other option would be to create a new wiki on our own. There are
plenty of free options out there for doing this (see
http://www.wikimatrix.org/ to feel immediately overwhelmed...) I have
some familiarity with PBwiki and would be willing to set up a basic site
on that service if people were so inclined to go that route -- just let
me know.
All best,
Sharon
