      A simple wiki is a very nice option. Simple to edit, easy to store lots of data. And very useful for more broad uses.

        Thank heaven for MediaWiki. I love our wiki, and it's so easy for 2 (or more) people to access and edit the information there. We would be crazy disorganized without it.

          I have never setup a Media-wiki, I have used them many. This would be a great thing to have in my back pocket. Any resources here to teach that to someone?

            @scottalanmiller wrote a one line installer for it a few months ago... digs around - where is that link

              @Dashrender that was for LEMP. I wouldn't use that 🙂 It was only to prove a point.

                It really has been awesome. You would not think that getting your wife to use a wiki for household items would be easy but once I set it up and put in a little bit of data she has been all over it and uses it even more than I do. It's really ideal for household management.

                  Umm... excuse me? Why would it not be easy to get your wife to use a wiki?

                    @Dominica ha ha, but seriously, it's not the kind of thing you can normally convince your spouse to use. And admit it, you were a bit skeptical when I proposed it.

                      I think he means wives in general. You are special though, in a good way.

                              Awwww @ajstringham thinks I'm special 🙂

                              Okay, I admit that I wanted to make sure that the wiki wasn't going to be a ton of extra work for me. Sometimes @scottalanmiller has these ideas and proposes them with "and it will be great experience for you to work on this" so hence my perpetual caution whenever Scott has a brilliant new idea.

                                    You're not that short! Or is it I'm not that tall? No, it's you're not that short. LOL

                                      Out of curiosity, and if it is personal ignore my question, but what do you guys use the wiki to manage? Bill and expenses? Scheduling? Just trying to get an idea of how we could use this tool in our house.

                                        @coliver Everything from box inventory lists from when we move to all of the info to pay bills. I think it might have our movies list on there too, but not sure if that was ported over.

                                          Plus home repairs, car servicing, things like that. Nothing super fancy, just things that you need to record somewhere and.... where do you put that without losing it?

                                            It seems like a great way to keep home things as organized as using say SharePoint for a business.
