I truly think that having a WYSIWYG editor like PBWiki has now is going to break down the biggest barrier to adding content to a wiki. Wiki markup may be easier than HTML for some people, but it certainly isn&#8217;t as easy as your word processing program at work. This truly makes it as easy as anything you normally do online. The folks from PBWiki have created a <a href=\"http:\/\/blip.tv\/file\/get\/Ramit-PBwikiPointandClickEditor319.flv\">screencast showing how the new editor works<\/a>. I know when I was at Wikimania last August, I heard that MediaWiki will also have WYSIWYG functionality sometime in the future. That will rock!<\/p>\n<p>In addition, PBWiki now allows people to integrate all sorts of widgets into their wiki, including calendars, chat widgets and videos (<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.pbwiki.com\/?p=85\">this blog post has some more info<\/a>). <\/p>\n<p>And speaking of PBWiki, if you are coming to Computers in Libraries this year or know anything about the Crystal City area, please add your knowledge to the <a href=\"http:\/\/cil2007.pbwiki.com\/\">CIL2007 Wiki<\/a>! Because of the location change of CIL this year, there isn&#8217;t nearly enough local info available on the wiki. So if you have any knowledge of that area, please consider contributing! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I mentioned PBWiki&#8217;s new editing interface a few weeks ago, but this week was the official launch of this tool.
