Invite people to your space
A member or organiser of a space [wiki] can invite people to that space. If
an organiser invites someone to the space, that person only needs to
accept the invitation to become a member.
To invite people:
1. Go to "Manage Space"
2. Click on "Invite People"
3. You'll be brought to a form that allows you to invite people to your
space. You can invite people by their Wikispaces username or their e-mail
address.
4. Click "Send"
