What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It costs $49.90 a year. - You could make: Wiki: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: An API that other software can build on. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. **Tags:** Wiki, Public API ## Alternatives - [PBworks](https://toolgpa.com/tools/pbworks): Hosted team wikis and file sharing for organizations.
