PB Works or Basecamp or...

So trying out the new "freemium" version of the complete PB Works content management/project management program.  Have been using the wiki part off and on for years (I remember PB wiki - do you?) and also had been using Basecamp as the manager system for another project.  So, seeing if the PB Works will work as well as starting the conversion process of World of Depleted Wikia to PB Works.

A lot of wiki work is very tedious and repetitive and yet in some ways can be soothing, a very odd mix.

I am also using mediawiki with the semantic wiki addon - I have only begun to scratch the surface.  And yet - I feel wikis and similar archiving systems and projects are crucial as this article (http://gigaom.com/2012/09/19/the-disappearing-web-information-decay-is-eating-away-our-history/)  points out (thanks to Lance Weiler via twitter for the link)

That is scary, to be a culture with no history....  those that have no history are doomed to repeat it.....
