MeanDean of HealYourChurchWebsite posted about how wikis are great for content management on the cheap. I LOVE wikis!

At IdeaWorks, we use Trac, an open source wiki with bug tracker and source code viewer built in. Jennifer and I also use MediaWiki to organize information about daily life – projects, todo lists, grocery shopping, you-name-it. The free-form organization means that you can constantly re-factor your information, and since you can go back and look at pages’ revisions, you never lose any data.

I think I’m going to try to talk my church into using a wiki for projecty stuff here soon.

    You are just too kind … oh … and if/when you get that church wiki thing going, drop me a love note so I can give it some good attention on my site as a model of implementation!

    Thanks again for the linkage.
