I looked for alternatives which
1. ...need minimum administrational work on our side (thats why i
ruled out self-hosted software and all CMS-based stuff in favor of a
Wiki)
2. ...are more intuitive (and fun) to use than the Tiki-Wiki, so that
we have a lower barrier for interaction and participation
3. ...can be customized somehwat (if we want), so we can build an
attractive website to promote the acc-event.
In the end my favourites were pbwiki.com and wikispaces.com -
wikispaces is even more comfortable to use (more guided dialogues for
embedding widgets) but puts Google-Ads on all free wikis. Pbwiki does
not put any ads on your site and also is very easy to use yet
powerful.
