What is Kete?
Kete is open source software that you can use to create online areas for collaboration for your community. Write topics and upload images, audio, video, documents. Discuss them all. Link them together.
It's been called a "relational wiki" and " a mashup between content management and knowledge managment". It's a fun way to get things done. Check out the FAQ for more about Kete. Feel free to ask your questions there!
This site runs on Kete. Other examples of kete sites can be found at http://kete.net.nz/site/kete_sites.

It's a relational wiki
Walter McGinnis
said We need a "Kete is..." statement
Hi,
I was talking talking to my brother-in-law about Kete.net.nz and he felt that the homepage assumes that you already know what Kete is. A valid point. We could use a brief statement at the top of this topic that briefly summarizes what Kete is and does.
If you have a recommendation, please put it in a comment here. Also, if you like one recommendation better than another, feel free to speak up here as well.
Cheers,
Walter
