What are the free features of the new PBwiki 2.0?
What are PBwiki 2.0 features that are going to be part of the free wiki services? I just set up a 2.0 wiki but discovered that there is only one template unless you subscribe to the silver, etc. Did I miss something?
I am developing training for faculty and need to figure out whether I should train them to use 1.0 or 2.0.

Inappropriate?According to previous posts from PBwiki employees, the exact features of 2.0 are still somewhat in flux. However, addressing specific features is much easier.
Templates in PBwiki are not functional mechanisms; they are simply text, that act as a starting point for a given page. What this means for users is that, if you can see a template, then you can copy that template into your own wiki (and tag it with the 'template' tag), thus creating your own personal copy of the template in your free wiki.
As it happens, they have created a repository of all the templates, as described in this thread. So you can peruse the Template Demo Wiki, find a template (that you might otherwise have to upgrade to use), copy the page (by selecting the text, and pressing 'Ctrl-C'), paste that text in a new page on your free wiki ('Ctrl-V'), save the page, tag the page with a tag named 'template', and viola! You now have that template in your free wiki.
I hope this helps.
I’m wishing Get Satisfaction had a 'preview post' function, since editing your post sends multiple emails to everyone who's following the thread.
