wikis.sun.com is a collaborative site from Sun very handy when you want to share information in a public or private way with communities.
A wiki is different from a blog. With a blog you publish in a one to many way. With a wiki site, everyone, if allowed, can add information on a selected topic or space.
I was not using it, shame on me, before yesterday.
You create topics and you share your topic to everybody or a community of users. You can control the access rights.
A topic is a "space":
You can subscribe to a space with a RSS feed:
You can browse people's directory:
I started to share information with partners, just look at wikis.sun.com and search for French-Partner-Technical-Wiki. If you are a Sun partner, you can get it.
Our Sun wiki is software Confluence from Atlassian.
Cool, I'm glad you like our wiki portal :).
Two things to note:
1) the correct domain name is wikis.sun.com not wiki.sun.com
2) only Sun employees can create a space, but once the space is created, the space owner can invite external users to read or write content.
You can subscribe to our internal (for now) mailing list via netadmin, just search for "wikis".
cheers,
Igor
