A suitable wiki? (Experience with wikis appreciated.)


Question Posted Sunday May 7 2006, 8:38 am

I'm part of a small community that's looking into getting their own wiki, and I'm their local tech person. Any recommendations on wiki software? I've already got a few possibilities in mind, but it's so hard to choose.

My criteria is something easy-to-use (WYSIWYG would be good, but not essential) and not too confusing. Search, page history, user groups/levels, and uploads are essential. An in-built or addon discussion module would be great, as would be easy customisation of looks. Wiki software would have to be either Perl or PHP, flat-file based or perhaps MySQL.

I've been using PMWiki as a personal wiki, but I'm interested if there are better alternatives out there -- currently considering OddMuse, DokuWiki, and TWiki (any opinions on these?)... I have considered MoinMoin, but our server doesn't support Python.

Suggestions much appreciated!

I have no idea what any of this means, I'm sorry. I tried looking it up and just got confused.
