I have looked at using wp for a group collaboration and info sharing tool, but ran into another issue (than yours) with file sharing: I could find no good plugins for managing files. I did not want my users to have to learn the dashboard for files, and I could not find much else out there. ON WIKI: I have used media wiki on another site, and its pretty good stuff...however, unless you are planning on a LOT of content, I would just go with using WP. Use pages for more static content (or turn on comments for updates) and create separate categories for informational (as opposed to blog posts) updates. I find this works well, unless you NEED a wiki. ~ Dpak Great stuff.

However, we can across an almost immediate technical stumbling block with the installation. It seems that Wordpress uses some very specific directory locations for media and htaccess files which makes a multi-server installation difficult. I have a production portal site that consists of 2 servers. Originally, I turned on permalinks to use "Day and Name" entry types, but then I could not open the individual post pages to view or comment on them, so I turned that off to get the site working again. Next, I realized that it won't be simple for us to share files along with our posted articles because depending on the server that you log into, the uploaded files will be stored on that server and not the other. It's a crap shoot as to whether the viewer will get to download the attached file. Perhaps if there was a module to allow media to be stored in the database instead, this would be a non-issue. More to come as we continue to delve into blogs at work... Update: I got some very good feedback from my team regarding the use of a blog tool for sparking discussions.

In my code, the call to "smpCreatePage" is directly linked to that plugin, otherwise you may get this error. Also, looking back at my code here, I realize that it's only partially there. I uploaded the full widget file for download here: http://blog.4minds.com/?attachment_id=338 Let me know if you still have issues. Send me your blog link and I'll take a look as best I can.
