Any benefits to 1.0 compared to 2.0?
Collegues of mine that don't work much with computers may find the simplicity of 1.0 easier to handle. Is 1.0 easy to customize than 2.0? I want to have a killer side bar and a artistic front page and that is it. I have no need for complex sidebar action in 2.0 (folder, tags, security, detailed recent activity etc.). But I may want to upgrade to 2.0 later when we have more members.

1.0 http://ncrcandd.pbwiki.com/
Right now I like 1.0.
Any stylistic assistance?

Inappropriate?The main benefit of 1.0 right now is that it's easier to invite large groups of users using an invite key. In 2.0 you need to invite users via e-mail address.
Unfortunately I can't look at your 1.0 wiki - it's private. I'd love to take a look though!
Personally, I feel both version are easy to customize. 2.0 has fewer customization options but I feel they're simpler to add, but create a clean, professional look.
In 1.0 you can really go crazy with customizing CSS, but sometimes that can lead to a wacky wiki :)

Inappropriate?Thanks Rachel,
There both public now. Any thoughts? I'd like some simple customizations if possible. -
Inappropriate?Actually, Daniel, you are correct about the customizability. 1.0 has skins; 2.0 has none. 1.0 easily supports javascript and css; 2.0 makes it much more difficult. 1.0 educational wikis have a sidebar with up to three tabs; 2.0 has eliminated the tabbed sidebar completely. Of course, as Rachel mentioned, 1.0 allows anonymous access via the magic URL, or uninvited access using a password.
Be aware that they have completely rewritten the underlying page structure in 2.0, so anything you do to customize a 1.0 wiki will be entirely wasted in 2.0. -
Inappropriate?Right now, 2.0 is limited in customizability, but when custom head HTML is back (turned off for security concerns), it'll be just as customizeable as 1.0, at least in terms of appearance (you'll be able to specify CSS stylesheets again). 2.0's editor is much more stable and we're actively working to make its formatting options more intuitive. I like it a lot, although I am still keeping a few wikis at 1.0 until the feature set gets completely filled out.
In terms of handling your data itself, both do basically the same thing. If your needs don't require precise formatting of layout and design, then you should have no problem using either.
Best,
