• As part of the 2008 Toronto Wiki Tuesday Guest Speaker Series, Damir Sudaveric (Industrial Engineer) will lead discussions next Tuesday at Toronto Wiki Tuesday at a new location, Epicure Cafe. Here's Damir's description:

  Why?

  Suppose you have a small consulting/service shop—what should you use for a website? What is it for? How do you package and sell your knowledge? We shall explore a few examples out there, mostly MS-MVP sites, comment on structure and usability.

  What?

  Blog, wiki, or both? When should a content be in a wiki and when in a blog?

  How?

  • Using WordPress? and MediaWiki? to drive a promotional & customer support site.
  • Installation hurdles to overcome.
  • Customer reactions.
  • Benefits and drawbacks.

  Extras

  Wiki to go; run a wiki from an USB stick. Ideal for managing notes and "private" knowledge.
  The fastest way to introduce wikis into an office (corporate) environment.
