From the reviews: "This current book moves on from introductory issues into more technical matters a" thereby focusing on the creation of wikis using two of the most popular production engines a" namely, MediaWiki and TWiki. a ] This is an interesting book which I would recommend to anyone who is interested in getting involved in the technical aspects of wiki creation. a ] the book is very well written a" which makes reading it a pleasure rather than a chore. The book comes with an included CD-ROM a ] ." (Philip Barker, The Electronic Library, Vol. 25 (2), 2007) "Wiki: Web Collaboration is one of the remarkably few books on the subject of wikis available a ] . It is written by three multidisciplinary authors from Germany, two with an information science background. a ] For someone contemplating installing and maintaining a MediaWiki-based wiki website, this is worthwhile material. a ] A short appendix gives additional information on installing TWiki, followed by a glossary, bibliography and brief index. Finally, there is a CD with wiki software at the end of the book a ] ." (Jonathan Bowen, The Times Higher, July, 2006) "Wikis are open-source, free software that facilities Web collaboration. a ] There are highlighted tips, notes, and cautions throughout the text that provide useful information on working with the software. I found them both helpful and conveniently located in the text a ] . The book is an excellent translation from the German edition." (Linda Kenny Sloan, Technical Communication, Vol. 54 (2), 2007)
