The Georgia Tech Library and Information Center serves over 20,000 students plus approximately 1,000 academic faculty and 3,500 research faculty and professionals. The library employs over 125 faculty and paraprofessionals. Library expenditures are approximately $13.5 million. A wiki would need to be composed in order to enable the library staff and patrons to share and send library information and to view online resources.
- Page History: This would need to be necessary for document recovery and to view the editing history.
- WYSIWYG: An intuitive interface is essential for the many staff members and patrons who are not technically proficient.
- Commercial support: Will have in-house systems support.
- Interface Language: No localization needed.
- Software or hosted: Will be hosted by GeniusWiki.
- Domain: No domain name needed.
- Corporate Branding: Will have, in order to ensure that the Wiki's branding and design is consistent with the school's.
After using the Wizard, I decided on GeniusWiki. The licensing is free, with unlimited bandwidth, the software is free and open source, and it seems capable of hosting thousands of users.
Of course, this is my first time dealing with wikis, so I hope I haven't steered myself wrong.
