The Wiki Project Annotated

One of the assignments for ILS501 - Introduction to Information Science and Technology was a menu project where we were able to choose from several different menu options. As I have mentioned before, I decided to do a wiki project. I decided to try to create a wiki for classmates to post results of their web search exercise. With that decision made - and an ok from the professor, my next step was to research different wiki software.
