Return to "ValueApps - Collaboration"MediaWiki is a collaborative content manager that allows anyone to update the content of the pages of your website. This sort of community editing allows users with experience in the subject matter of your website to add facts and information at any time. Adding MediaWiki to your website is great for setting up a knowledge base of information about a particular topic, making it great for community-oriented sites such as hobbiest groups. OpenSourceHost provides MediaWiki to facilitate simple installation. MediaWiki powers the popular Wikipedia.org website, and support for the software is provided by the developers of the software and the WikiMedia group. You can access the MediaWiki documentation online at:
