When we first moved to San Francisco, we met David Weekly at Super Happy Dev House where he told us about some site he made one day: PBwiki (Peanut Butter Wiki). We fell in love with PBwiki and created about 22 wikis in the last four months. We use them to organize lots of our current projects: Have Money Will Vlog, Sustainable Route, Node101.
What is a wiki? From wikipedia:
A wiki is a type of website that allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove and otherwise edit and change some available content, sometimes without the need for registration. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for collaborative authoring.
So no longer do you need to wait for the “website” guy to update a page. Anyone motivated can now update the site themselves without fear of screwing anything up since all changes are recorded. You simply cannot permanently damage a wiki.
Check out this interview we did with our new, favorite, geek friends. They have a great philosophy and approach to the community, as well as business.
PBWiki fine with me but I still like a forum… O maybe it is not 2.0 enough…?
