We are significantly upgrading GroupSwim in mid-September. The cornerstone of the release is an integrated wiki to round out our suite of collaboration features. The wiki includes the following:
- Updated WYSIWYG editor (replacing the current version used for discussions). The new editor includes more control over formatting including drag-and-drop table creation, multiple fonts and styles, integrated linking to connect with other site content, etc.
- Full page editing
- Dynamic table of contents
- Auto-tagging for wiki content
- Integrated search with other content types in GroupSwim
- Image insertion from computer or web
- Full versioning and history support
- Robust permissions to control who can author and edit wiki pages
- And much more
Right out of the gate, this will be one of the best, easiest-to-use wikis you’ve ever seen. We have much planned for future releases.

Hi Jason,
I am very excited about the wiki, especially if it turns out to be the “easiest-to-use wiki” i’ve ever seen. In the past, i’ve always avoided wikis; while I very much like what they do, I have not been abel to find any wiki that was user-friendly enough to pass the “grandma test” – even the highly praised Google Sites/former Jotspot wiki was way too complicated for my grandma…. so I am very much looking forward to the GroupSwim wiki….
Though at the same time I’ve got a question: Why are you guys using WordPress for your blog instead of a GroupSwim Discussion?

Thorsten,
I will personally train your Grandma on the small chance that she doesn’t get it right away
Good call on the blog. It is in our plans to integrate the blog into the Pool at some point, but we haven’t had the cycles to make it happen.
Jason
