[Web4lib] intranets, wikis and blogs, oh my!

[Robin]

Hello all,

I have been asked (or tasked) by my librarians to set up an intranet, upon (within?) which to experiment with wiki or blog software, or both, in order to have a place where staff can share information, update each other on changes as they occur, etc. I have no direct experience with any of the above, so would appreciate feedback from anyone who's done some of this. Recommendations of good products, or condemnations of bad ones, would be helpful, as would pointers to any good concise reference material showing me how to go about doing this. It is not required to be up and running until al least the end of the week ☺

We are a Windows 2000 shop although our servers run Windows Server 2003.

Any advice or assistance would be appreciated. If you like please reply off-list and I will summarize if there’s interest in seeing results.

TIA for all suggestions.
Robin.
