Like most users, I ignored these attempts to teach me the right way to do things and started banging around on my own. Obviously anticipating this, JotSpot inserted giant orange "Create new page" and "Edit this page" markers on the wiki's home page. Using the "edit page" button and the WYSIWYG interface -- which did indeed work much like a limited version of Microsoft Word -- I quickly typed in some headers and text for my home page, which would eventually serve as the doorway to the other pages in the wiki.
Creating new wiki pages was just as easy: I simply named the page; chose the type of page; and then, depending on the page type, added text to Web pages, inserted data into spreadsheet pages, added events to calendars, uploaded documents to file cabinet areas, or uploaded images to photo albums.
Once I had created several pages, I went back to the home page and created links to them using the handy-dandy "make link" button. (This button also lets you link to outside Web pages and any files you've uploaded to the wiki.) All this was accomplished without my doing a lick of HTML coding -- though you can edit in HTML if that's your preference.

I invited a few co-workers to join, and they were able to make changes to existing pages, add new pages, and otherwise enjoy the privileges of wiki membership -- at least, those that I allowed them. As the wiki's administrator, I control whether pages can be viewed and edited by anyone, by all registered users of the wiki, by select users I designate, or only by me. I can set these permissions for the whole wiki or for individual pages.

Beyond The Basics
Where JotSpot 2.0 really gets interesting is in the additional applications it makes available as plug-ins. You can pick and choose from a project manager, a bug reporter, a knowledge base app, a recruiting tool, a call log manager, a blog, a simple polling tool, personal to-do lists, and more. I tried out the knowledge base app and the poll tool.
Subsea cable alternatives can provide a level of comfort for those concerned about disruptions. Realistically, they will continue to play a small, but critical role in the short term.
Maintaining existing network infrastructures often incurs huge technical debt before newer technologies are adopted over time.
Amid ongoing regional uncertainties, telecom infrastructure in the Middle East has expand to include terrestrial low-latency network infrastructure, which offers resilience and agility in navigating political complexities without relying solely on undersea networks.
