Basecamp needs a wiki

From Elegant Hack:

If I could do one thing to basecamp (having been using it for the first time for a couple months now) I’d add a tiny wiki. Projects need a place for permanent links & lists. basecamp doesn’t seem to offer an place for that.

Wow. Having spent the past 3 months working on a large project using Basecamp with about 8 other people, that is so damn true.

It wouldn’t be as much of a problem if the project had its own source control, but it’s not a design or programming project. Hell, it’s not even really a project–it’s running the Conflict Resolution & Transformation Center at UC Berkeley, and a small, Instiki-esque wiki would go a long ways towards making Basecamp the end-all, be-all of lean project management.

    Agreed! Agreed! I would adopt basecamp in a heart beat if it support some kind of wiki functionality.
