I'd like to convince more of my colleagues to use it, but they balk at paying for the service. Is there any chance pbwiki would license the technology to universities so teachers don't have to pay for their wikis themselves? Could there be some kind of package deal set up - $5000/year buys a university 500 wikis, or something like that? --Miles Kimball, Texas Tech I’ve taught four graduate courses (online and onsite) in pbwiki now, and I think it’s the best wiki software for educators out there.

But for this same reason it can be a poor tool for scaling beyond the needs of a handful of users. In a recent blog post the folks at PBWiki acknowledge some of the things that educators want from the service. Most of the items in their list should apply to people running events where participants might not be veterans of wiki editing.
