I'm retired. In my previous two lives, I was an Information Technologies professional designing databases, and later, a dairy farmer in the country of Uruguay.
Now I am a "historian". I am writing the history of the scout group I am belongin since 1965.
My history book, which I started in 2000, written in MS-WORD, is getting unmanageable and it is not collaborative.
I am switching to DokuWiki hoping to have the history available on the WEB and to be collaborative --our scout group has 150 active members, and thousands not longer active but still interested.
...
The process to install DokuWiki was not a simple one. And now, learning all about DokuWiki. I am finding it is steep. There is A LOT of information, but it is scattered; there is no DokuWIki For Dummies.
I am placing BIG HOPE this forum will help me to take the baby steps needed to organize and write the book.
...
If anyone is using DokuWiki to organize history, I am open to suggestions.
