Grant Fri, 27 Feb 2009 22:54:22 +0000 http://blog.pbwiki.com/?p=479#comment-252300 I agree with Julie. I wanted one wiki that could be edited by a group of people that often changes who is in the group. Requiring individual accounts is a hassle. one generic password works well for some wikis. But I appreciate the security level for the students I have on the other wikis. While I haven't tried it yet, I 'm going to assume it is easy to delete students at the end of a class and add more at the beginning of the next class, using the same wiki. Thank you for the work and for maintaining a free access - there is no money in my district! And the non-profit use would never happen if thre was a cost. I agree with Julie.

We use you because we want people to be able to change the wiki without having indivicual acounts! This is very,very disappointing to us. Is there a way around this???? We like being able to give out one generic password to the people we want to have access. Julie Pinnell I am VERY ANGRY about your “2.0″.

What if you don't know the names of everyone who may want to participate. What if you want it open to everyone in the school? With the original, I just advertised the password and web address, and they participated at will. I’m a bit confused. What if you don’t know the names of everyone who may want to participate.
