Wiki Mission Impossible

I’m using my current place of employment, the Hall County Public Library, to choose a model for wiki service.  When choosing a wiki I considered the following:

1. Population Served: over 200,000 residents in the county.  Library system belongs to PINES.

2. Library Type: public library.

3. Languages:  library serves a growing population of Spanish speaking patrons.

4. Budget:  minimal, budget has being reduced dramatically.

MindTouch seems to be the wiki our library needs based on the characteristics taken into consideration.  First of all, it is free and open source.   It gives us the chance to own our own domain, and allows for corporate branding, page revisions are unlimited and it offers Host Blocking to the wiki administrator.  It offers 26 different languages interfaces, e-mail notifications when certain pages are edited/changed as well as RSS feeds.  It keeps statistics of most /least popular pages and the ability to export, save or download as a PDF file, it is printer and mobile friendly.  MindTouch, is used by over 18 million people and is supported by one of world’s most active communities.  MindTouch has a WYSIWYG, or rich text, editor similar to a light-weight word processor.  You can copy/paste from office documents or other web pages. Linking is as easy as selecting the text and navigating to the page or attachment you wish to link. MindTouch has one of the most advanced permission systems available. MindTouch administrators can make wikis public or private, anonymous or not. There is user groups’ support. Users can permission entire hierarchies to create private or non-editable workspaces or permission single pages. MindTouch has built in support for LDAP, Active Directory, Drupal, Wordpress, and Joomla.
