Compare and Contrast other WIKI Options

The Agile Skills Project Wiki currently runs on sites.google.com

Google Sites has some advantages:

• • free

  • easy to set up

  • ???

and some disadvantages:

• • inflexible

  • No Wikipedia-style discussion tab or other discussion-tracking function

  • ???

Compare and contrast Google Sites with other free WIKI options and make a recommendation. (Recommendation could be to stay with Google Sites)

NOTE: For WIKI solutions that don't already include free hosting, make a recommendation about how/where the wiki should be hosted. It may be possible that Chet could host something where the original agileskillsproject.com page used to be.

One reason for investigating a solution to the issue of tracking per-page discussions is that during the previous sprint's retrospective, it was identified that project participants were unclear as to whether editing a page that was currently under discussion was "stepping on toes" or "taking initiative". A concern was that if people stood back and did not edit, their comments might get lost. Tracking the discussion per-page would collect all the thoughts in one place and reduce the chance that ideas would be lost.
