Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology

I’ve always liked wikis, and I have used MediaWiki a lot in the past, and I do like it. One drawback is that the syntax of Dokuwiki is different than MediaWiki, and so the more I use it, the more I forget when I use MediaWiki. But I’m converting my tech wiki to from MediaWiki to DokuWiki.

The online help for BlackbaudNow is powered by the open source software MediaWiki. It is well hidden, but a somewhat savvy MediaWiki user will notice the telltale signs (the URLs are one giveaway.)

I have two other wikis ( a public and private wiki) that are in Mediawiki, on my web host. I didn’t get so far into coding the markup, but I had decided that I’d follow MediaWiki’s syntax, since it was the most popular wiki software. And I contribute to varied other wikis, which are on varied other wiki platforms.

Wiki: I love wikispaces, but also use mediawiki, socialtext, and pbwiki. Browser: I use firefox unless I'm forced to use explorer because of a work contract. Bookmarks: del.icio.us and magnolia. I use onlywire bookmarklet to be able to multi-task.
