Personal Wiki SaaS Software
Many people are most familiar with the idea of a personal wiki as an app. This type of wiki allows an individual to organize information on a smart phone, laptop or other type of mobile device. The difference between the app and most wikis is there’s no need or use for collaboration. In other words this organizer is for one person’s use and not for someone working with a team requiring shared information or changes.
The larger definition of personal wiki SaaS software also includes wiki SaaS software that’s not designed to be multiple user running across several web servers, but used instead as a standalone for a single user. While this might seem to defeat the purpose of wiki software, it does allow for uses such as letting the user work with flat files instead of across a database.
Some of this SaaS software has the dedicated purpose of holding a working edition of a project being worked on by a team that’s less easy to hack, and can only be changed by a single administrator. This gives a team working on a project a backup version of a project unaffected by unintentional changes. Some of this type of software will support plug ins and it can be extended using open sourced applications.
There are a few multi-user wikis which have personal editions. There are also publicly hosted personal wiki SaaS software sites which have a privacy setting allowing the user to work away from the group. This functionality is often not reversible in that once a change is made in privacy setting it can’t be added to the group effort later.
