Wiki beginning

The Appling County Public Library is a small, rural public library in Baxley, Georgia. The library is currently working off of a limited budget which allows for a staff of four, with only two members of staff present at one time, and most resources going to collection development. This library serves the county of Appling which has a population of around 18, 000 and is considered a low socio-economic area (United States Census Bureau, 2013). With almost a quarter of the population living below poverty level, this library has become a place for people to come to access the internet, computers, and other resources (United States Census Bureau, 2013). Many people in the community are computer illiterate and would like to have access to computer training. This Wiki will focus on computer tutorials, both vodcast and written webpages.

Using Wiki Matrix I answer strongly to the following criteria:
-The wiki needs to match branding policy
-We do not need a domain name as it will be linked from the webpage
-It will need to be hosted
-It does not need a localized language
-We do not need commercial support
-A what you see is what you get format would work well with our older patrons and staff members

From the options, I am currently leaning towards Wetpaint because it is free and matches all of these criteria. It also has layout pages in which information can be simply be dropped into a professional looking layout.
