I feel like I keep returning to the same types of projects.  Right now I'm collecting, editing and publishing historical rhetoric texts on a wiki so they can be used to create ebooks and can be edited and annotated by future classes.  In a perfect world, a wiki is  a sustainable ecosystem that is portable, accessible and accessible. I'm using Dokuwiki.  Students could, if they wanted, download the entire site as a folder with html files or as an epub that would fit on their phone.  It uses flat files rather than a backend database.  I found my page on the C2 wiki which was created by Ward Cunningham, one of the very first Wiki's and have revisited it over the years, but it appears to have been taken down.  This is sad, because I would update the page every few years, i.e. "I graduated!".  My son and his friend posted on the page when he was about 10 years old and Googled my name.  Rest in peace, C2 Wiki.
