Completely open wikis
Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2007 4:27 pm
I'm in the process of porting all my documentation for one of my projects over to dokuwiki because it's so much easier to maintain.
I'm not exactly the best at writing useful documentation with example code so I'm planning on opening the wiki so that anybody can just click EDIT and make changes. Obviously, there's a large amount of trust involed here.
Has anyone done this themselves and chucked the idea away after numerous issues? I'll make nightly backups so any damage can be fixed quickly but I'm curious if anyone has any first hand experience of maintaining an open wiki?
I'm using DokuWiki if that helps... it's currently closed to just me... but not for much longer.
