= Managing a Wiki =


 * The two wiki software packages I compared were Wikispaces and PBwiki.**


 * ====**How easy is it to set up? - How easy will it be to invite others?**====

===**Both Wikispaces and PBwiki were very easy to set up. Both require a username and password. Both require a valid email account. I was able to set up an account in PBwiki in under five minutes. PBwiki touts a new version 2.0 which includes an improved editor, and easier tagging, linking, and sharing. There was also a short video which explain all of this new features. Your new wiki is created once you click on the link in the eamail you receive when you set up the account.**===


 * **Your article should explore the way the 2 (or more) of the wiki software handles editing. (Is it WYSIWYG? Does it have templates? Automatic Headings?, comments?**

===**Editing in Wikispaces is done just like with a work processor, without all the extras bells and whistles. It is pretty straight foward. PBwiki works like a word processor also, but if you want extra tools you have to pay a fee. I was not able to find any templates in either wikis.**===


 * **Version Control - How is page history handled?**


 * **Discussion - Is there a place to talk about the article outside.**


 * **Subscription to articles - How can you be notified of changes to the pages you contribute to?**


 * **Security - How will you be able to control page edits?**


 * **Contributions - How can teachers see what each student has contributed to the wiki?**
