Too Dumb to Use It - Version: 0.5a, 9/18/2004 06:45PM PST

The complete dumbass's experience:
I downloaded it, ran it, it looked great and worked great...then I turned off my computer and started again and nothing was there or worked "properly."

I appreciate that it's my lack of knowledge/diligence that made SnipSnap unusable, but I did find something that did what I wanted here: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/swiki and it's still going fine a year later, with people in my office relying on it for collaboration.

In other words, there are easier ways to go than SnipSnap if you want to get your feet wet in the wiki world. SnipSnap seems to have a better feature set, but it doesn't matter if I have to work at configuring it.

Great program! - Version: 0.4, 9/23/2003 02:00PM PST

I love how this doesn't depend on much. No need to install anything special. Also, for those of you who, like me, wanted to get the latest version, but it would run (giving an error like somethingmissing /java) you can use the run.sh from .4 to run the later versions AFAIK
