Issue/Request: 

We have a researcher interested in hosting a ‘wiki-server’ in the next couple of months to fulfill a commitment to an NSF grant to post information.  Would this be more appropriately hosted on a Drupal site?  If data needs to be posted to the site, is there a limit on the amount of data that can be linked to a site?

Hi Lisa,

By definition, a wiki is a website that allows collaborative editing of its content and structure by its users. This is something that can be created with YaleSites and is part of the core functionality of Drupal. You don’t need special setup, just use the Basic Page with Roles and Permissions. The only thing that might be problematic is that at this time, we only allow people with a Yale NetID to login and make changes to a site. 3rd Party authentication is currently being developed, but not available at this time.

I hope this helps.
