A Wiki by any name still works as good

Posted on Jul 18, 2007 12:00:00 AM | SamePage Team | 0 Comments   

One of the key features of SamePage is the ability to create any number of distinct wikis which we refer to as Projects. A Project is nothing but a container that allows a group of users (members) to manage a bunch of Pages.  Other wiki products refer to this as Spaces or Wikis.

What we realized is that it is important to allow enterprise customers to define what to call this "container" so it makes sense to their users.  Some of them may be comfortable calling them Wikis while others may want to call them Spaces or Projects.  We have had customers who want to create these Projects for specific departments within the organization - so they want to call these Projects as Departments.  Or if your instance of SamePage is being used for building and fostering communities, you may want to call it Communities.

With release 3.3 , we made this Project caption configurable for on-premise installations.  So you can modify the term "Projects" with a term more appropriate for your audience and usage. E.g. Wiki, Workspace, Space, Team, Group, Community etc. This will get reflected in all screens and toolbars automatically.



We believe a wiki by any name should still work as good
