What are the file limits?
"At this time attached files and uploaded images are currently limited to 10 MB." "Each domain is limited to 10 GB in total size with ... Education [Non-profit] Edition domains receiving 500 MB per user beyond the initial quota." (Google: October 2008)
How user friendly is it?
o everything we got with MediaWiki... only more and better
o zero learning curve for viewers, since it relies
on familiar web design metaphors: search, navigation, content, sitemap, etc.
o very easy for contributors from multiple
locations to create and edit and share content
o way Way WAY better search, including content of uploaded files
Yeah, but do people use it?
What is the $ cost?
