A search for the perfect wiki....


If I were asked to develop a wiki for a moderately sized branch of a larger public library system I would have many options from which to choose. This branch employs 12 full time staff, and about 20 part time employees. This branch is located in an urban area, and serves patrons from a variety of economic backgrounds. The community is culturally diverse and serves a large bilingual population. Like most public libraries, this one is on a strict budget and is very limited in what it can accomplish financially.
All employees would use this wiki; many are not very tech savvy. The wizard at WikiMatrix found 13 relevant wiki types that could be of use at this library. The most important factors in choosing this wiki are cost and an easy to use,  WYSIWYG interface.
