At work we use a wiki called confluence - I know it is not free nor open
source - please do not burn me at the stake for that!
But we needed something that was easy for the lowest common denomitor in
our lab to use (Office admin and the over 65years crowd), we wanted it
to look nice, to be used by 100 researchers, to have public and private
functionality, content management and we wanted navigation to be obvious
-
https://gcrc.carleton.ca/confluence/display/GCRCWEB/Cybercartography+and+the+New+Economy.
Now i am not saying this is what we want or that this is perfect. But,
I would love to see potential for embelishment in our thing (and would
even be willing to give it a try if i could get some coaching!) , and
also navigation made easy. I am getting lost in ours and find that i go
- to recent changes - instead of our resources or nav section.
Most of you here are really savvy movers and shakers in these
environments, but not all who come to civicaccess will be, and of course
we do not have to aim for the lowest skilled user, but it would be
really great to be open, understood, to easily navigate & find stuff,
clear, to have adding content easy and to have a little esthetic je ne
s'ais quoi happening. And of course getting the data out there!
But you know what! We are getting there and there are some good minds
around the fire so i suspect that we will soon be there.
cheers
