[BNM] What wiki?

[Julian Blundell]

Hi

Been looking for a php/database wiki to use for a collaborative effort

I have narrowed it down to:

bitweaver <http://www.wikimatrix.org/show/bitweaver>, Midgard
Wiki<http://www.wikimatrix.org/show/Midgard-Wiki>,
PhpWiki <http://www.wikimatrix.org/show/PhpWiki>,
TikiWiki<http://www.wikimatrix.org/show/TikiWiki>
,
Anybody got any opinions about any of these, I am going to integrate the
final choice into an overall login system, so a clean code base would be a
plus.

If you want some great looks and really easy editing add DekiWiki

What about MediaWiki?

http://www.mediawiki.org/

It's the system behind Wikipedia, Wikia etc. I've used it quite extensively.
Pretty easy to use and edit, and visitors who've ever worked on Wikipedia
pages will get it immediately.

Down-sides? It's a pig to re-skin properly (the default layout is pretty
dull/ugly and the XHTML/CSS is a mess), user admin etc is rather arcane and
user-unfriendly.

Agree with everything below about MediaWiki.

I was looking at DekiWiki (http://wiki.opengarden.org) which was
recommended to me, by someone on this list, I think. Looks much nicer
than lots of the other efforts, has an API and allegedly integrates with
lots of the popular open source CMS tools.

Be interested to know if anyone has any feedback from using it.

Have a good weekend everyone.
