Sakai Wiki Tool

Overview

The Wiki tool is a fully integrated Sakai Tool that enables users of Sakai to create content, share and manage in a Wiki Environment. It uses simular markup to this Wiki (confluence) and others (SnipSnap) and shared concepts with other open source Wikis (eg Wikipedia, TWiki, phpWiki etc). Where fucntionality is provided by other tools within Sakai, the wiki deligates responsibility to those tools (eg resources).

The tool is added to worksites, just like any other tool. Once added a Wiki space dedicated to that worksite is created with a number of default pages. Members of the worksite may edit the content and create new pages simply by placing Wiki links on the existing pages.

Additional functionality includes

• Linking between worksite spaces

• Adding content from the Resources tool (eg images)

• Creating subspaces within worksite spaces

• Controlling permissions

• Exporting content in various formats (eg pdf, rtf)

• Watching for notifications (eg rss and/or email)
