PBWiki Makes Collaboration Easy
Recently, we been talking a lot about Web 2.0 and the new breed of web-based tools that are helping folks with little or no special web programming skills produce, manage, and deliver content to those who need it. Most often, readers ask us about wikis, web-based authoring tools that support collaboration among groups.
One of our favorite wiki tools is PBWiki, an easy-to-use and inexpensive wiki that offers three versions—personal, education, and business—designed to meet the needs of members of each audience group. The Content Wrangler has been using the free version of PBWiki to work collaboratively with a group of clients who are geographically-dispersed and whose travel schedules make it nearly impossible to schedule face-to-face meetings.
We’ve created a special wiki for readers of TheContentWrangler.com to test out. Please visit the wiki and leave a comment to see how easy it is to use. Additionally, you’ll be able to watch videos and see examples of how others are using the site. Check it out. Then, let’s talk wiki.
Been using PBWiki for a while now and love the ease of use. I upgraded to the Silver package so I can do access controls and some other things, and PBWiki is just the easiest for anyone to use. Nope, not a paid shill for them either.
Nice looking Wiki, but didn’t see a download option, is it hosted only? That might be a barrier for corporate use.
Hey CW,
Thanks for using PBwiki! It’s great to hear that you’re enjoying your wiki and find it easy to use. Let me know how the Content Wrangler wiki works out.

I’ve been using PBwiki with a couple of other organizations, and I love it.
When are you planning to add content to your wiki (besides how to use a wiki)? And…. what’s the password? I’m prompted for a wiki-wide password to login and make changes (such as leaving a comment in the wiki).
p.s. I notice that the URLs attached to people’s comments are all set to The Content Wrangler – even if we specified our own website or blog.
I love your site, but when there’s a link on somebody’s name in the comments, I sometimes want to follow it to visit their site.
