[Web4lib] Wiki for library procedures

[Cary Gordon]

Here is a link to the Drupal Book module: <http://drupal.org/node/44648>.
The Book module is a wiki. The name helps distinguish it from the (to my
mind, inferior) Wiki module. The difference is that the is easier to use and
more Drupal-like.

So, you're saying that Peanut Butter Wiki is similar to a diaper? (GDR.....)

This is interesting.  When you hear "Book" module, you don't normally think
of Wiki.

Would you have a link to an example?

I guess a general concern would be how easy or difficult it would be for
users to add & edit information.

I've recently been foolin' around with Peanut Butter Wiki (pbwiki.com). 
  It's so easy to use -- a baby could create something on it.
