Overview
The Confluence-based wikis.mit.edu service is available to the MIT community and its guests and collaborators. IS&T offers the MIT Wikis Service to provide MIT groups and organizations with collaborative web spaces. Any MIT community group, project, or organization can request a wiki space.
Benefits and Key Features
- Wiki spaces can be restricted to a small group of colleagues or can be opened up to the world.
- Integrates MIT's well-established Moira list management service to manage group permissions.
- For authorization, Wikis integrates with MIT's Touchstone authentication service.
How to Obtain
- To access an existing space, visit the MIT Wikis Service.
- To request your own Wikis space, Contact the IS&T Service Desk. Be sure to supply the following information:
- Space Title: e.g. Energy Savings Initiative
- Space Key: a short alphanumeric string which becomes part of the URL for the space (e.g. ENERGYSAVINGS)
