I created a PBWiki without much difficulty at all. The problem came when I invited people to participate in my wiki. I typed a whole list of e-mails of people to be invited (Young ReF desk people because we were going to use this wiki for a ref desk project). When people got the invite, they just didn't have to respond as in other cases, they had to establish a user id and password. Plus I kept getting these messages that my invites had failed because our server was marking them as SPAM. but some people got them in their regular mail and some fished it out of their junk mail. I couldn't understand what was happening because I thought by marking "full access" I was granting permission to those individuals. Evidently what I needed to do was create a user id and password to give to everyone so they could participate or they had to do their own. I still haven't found out how to create the group user id or password but I guess it's a moot point now. We're going to move RefQuikiWiki to SharePoint because of security issues.
Oh well, if anything, I'm learning. I'm learning how damned complicated things can be in our great techo world.
