Menéame: Space of the Month

Our March Space of the Month is Menéame.
You can read about the Menéame story in our space of the month archive but wanted to add a few more reasons why we think Menéame es impresionante.
1) It’s a real community
The Menéame wiki is the work of many different editors all working toward a common goal.
2) It’s […]

We’ve just launched a svelte new look for the front page of Wikispaces.com (sign out to see the new page if you’re already signed in). We think we’ve made the page as simple as possible - but no simpler. In the same spirit, we’ve taken the opportunity to clarify our mission in life: […]

Happy Birthday

A year ago this week, we opened the doors of Wikispaces to the world. We started with a simple idea: any group of people, regardless of their technical background, should be able to start their own wiki.
Tens of thousands of members and spaces later, Wikispaces has come a long way. We’re continually amazed […]

“I found this project really addictive”

He recently posted an interview with me on Netsquared entitled […]

Maintenance on Saturday, 11 March

Whenever possible we try and upgrade the site’s infrastructure on the fly, but this change requires a brief outage. The patient will be under the knife for no more than 30 minutes - less, if we’re […]

File delete and rename

We’ve just added two highly requested file administration tools: file rename and file delete. You can find them both by clicking the “Manage Space” link in the left hand navigation, then clicking “List and Upload Files”. If you’re a space organizer, you’ll see a “delete” and “rename” link next to each file. […]

Silent Night

Last night at 11:45 PM PST, we added another level of redundancy to the servers that power Wikispaces. With a bit of extra effort, we were able to get the upgrade done with no downtime - hopefully you didn’t notice a thing. While these sorts of behind-the-scenes upgrades don’t always make our list […]
