One thing already I don't like about this wiki (and it may be all PB wikis): You have to enable Javascript every time you view the page. The Javascript enabler is at the bottom of the page. So you think that there' s nothing on the page, when in fact there is disabled Javascript. How irritating. I put my Librarything catalog on Amy's Librarything but nothing shows on the page if it's on a computer that hasn't had Javascript enabled on that page yet.
The function for "save page as PDF" is great--doesn't work on my Javascript, but the formatting is beautiful, with the little sandwich at the top and the wiki name and page name. The "build a portfolio" function is very cool. Say you were working on a long project or series of projects--you could select the wiki pages that pertain to a report and put them together in a slideshow, PDF, or Word file. Then you could share the files or the URL of the slideshow. I picked some wiki pages that had some reference to 23 things in the title. You can add this particular wiki to Digg or del.icio.us, you can get an RSS feed for changes that are made to the wiki, and you can share the URL or full access to editing the wiki. Even though I don't like the Javascript disfunctionality, the tools available with this wiki software are well in line with other web 2.0 tools--lots of social networking, changeability of formats, easy enough for anyone to do. Excellent tool.
