What have you tried as far as third party hosting services? If you are sharing Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files, you can upload them to Google Docs, make them public and link them into your site. Also http://www.drop.io allows for you to upload 100MB of files and link to them as well. You might want to also consider just buying some web space of your own. That's what I did. I upload them to my own server and then can link them anywhere I want them to go. I can change them, delete them, etc. I have full control over my files which is what I want. Let me know what you have tried and maybe I can help.

Wikis & Accessibility

I work within education in the UK in a high school and wikis are a great tool for me as I manage the school library and I also co-ordinate e-learning across the whole school. There are so many ways I can use wikis. The only problem I currently have is the fact that wikis are blocked from the PC's in school. Staff and students are blocked from accessing them - due to filtering. I find this annoying because they are another learning tool for our students - but due to safety and limiting what our students can access during school hours, it is a problem. I was just wondering if anyone else experiences this and if there are ways of combating it in the future, particularly as we are preventing students from using a tool for learning with the current state of the situation.

Hi
I am a UK teacher in Birmingham & have had similar problems with signing in to my wiki due to filtering. I was wondering whether you have found a solution yet? My problem is that When I sign in I am returned straight back to the sign-in page. I have discovered that hitting refresh gets me into the site, but this is not ideal, and I think it will put off new users.

Public libraries

I think that public libraries also ought to be entitled to ad-free wikis. As a librarian, I run 2 book review wikis that are used by adults and young people. Can Wetpaint please consider giving libraries the same facility?

I'm interested in this question too since I am a "librarian in training" and one of our professors is encouraging us to learn as much about technology as we can. My school district has even made available a professional development option called “The 23 Things" which in nut shell allows participants to learn new technology by doing various activities online. Building a Wiki is one of the activities. I helped our librarian build a Wiki using Wetpaint's general access area since libraries don't yet qualify for ad-free and before they invitations had a chance to dry we already had a complaint about one of the ad's saying "pimp up"! Help us Wetpaint, please! This is a great tool that could cut down on a lot of needless email tagging, trapsing around campus to get answers and just make a poor librarians life easier.
