Any open source wiki recommendations? [modified]
-
There seems to be an endless amount of options out there. Does anyone have positive first hand experience with any? It will be used for internal documentation / knowledge-base that all developers can update internally. Preferences of the higher ups are asp and free, but I'd be open to php. [Update] We are going to go with ScrewTurn for the time being. Thanks for all the advice.

I use wikipedia. Its very easy to administer but as a user I do not find it the easy to actually enter data. Sometimes I have to use html to get it do format the output like I want. To me this somewhat defeats the purpose of a wiki, since easy formatting and not having to write html I consider the biggest benifits over a simple web page. I guess I still have live edits though and do not need to fiddle with uploads and downloads and web site software.. Edit: I mean mediawiki the software that wikipedia runs under.. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki[^]

Julian Assange prefers MediaWiki. I reckon that is a good reference right there! :rolleyes:

And it is currently getting high ratings for how well it stands up to outside attacks. :)

I've been using ScrewTurn Wiki for about a year. I love it.

I use this as well for a couple of projects and like it. I've had a couple of issues in some formatting scenarios to float images, but I can say the same about a couple others as well. Articles on www.asp.net in the Ajax section also use screwturn.

Indeed. They just downvoted a few of my messages. I have just posted a question for the site moderators asking how I should handle this behavior in the future. If I just keep letting them downvote me, that's fine, as people tend to counter and it would only cause my reputation to increase more rapidly. And I don't mind letting them univote me so they have something to feel ashamed of later when they mature. But I reported it to the admins in case they want to take matters into their own hands.

Or is that Swedish injustice ?
That's up to the court to decide. Don't mix apple with pears - the fact that a man Has Done Great Things (wikileaks) doesn't mean he's above the law.
