I have selected 4 software packages for us to evaluate in order to
decide on the best possible engine for the much-requested cAos
Community Wiki. All 4 samples are now up and running for you to try
out, play around with, and evalute. The URL's are as follows:
https://caos.nplus1.net/c-arbre/
https://caos.nplus1.net/dokuwiki/
https://caos.nplus1.net/pwp/
https://caos.nplus1.net/tikiwiki/
Both C-Arbre and Tikiwiki allow for individual user registration and
accounts, and they both offer more than simply a Wiki engine.
Dokuwiki and PWP are strictly wikis, the former being designed
specifically for collaborative documentation.
Please note that I have done little or no customization to these
samples thus far. Graphics, color schemes, etc. will be finalized
after we choose a Wiki. Right now we're evaluating the samples for
flexibility, features, ease of use, compliance with wiki standards,
etc.
I would appreciate your feedback. Send it to mej at caosity.org, post to
the mailing list, or add it to the wiki itself.
Thanks,
Michael

tikiwiki looks great even if I have permission denied to do anything even after being registered. If you want a very simple and powerful one have a look at pmwiki2, even if it doesn't have user registration, it has simple page right mechansim, powerful and simple markup language, simultaneous editing and nice skins. have a look at mine http://sophana.free.fr (There is actualy a problem with my custom made skin with IE6) Michael Jennings wrote:>I have selected 4 software packages for us to evaluate in order to >decide on the best possible engine for the much-requested cAos >Community Wiki.

I don't know if its too late for wiki suggestions, but I would like to point out MoinMoin Wiki http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ I've been using MoinMoin for some time now and I'm very satisfied with its performance. I'm former Twiki user (don't recommend it to anyone) and I'm not familiar with the other wikis (besides briefly reading their feature list). MoinMoin is very mature with an active community. Besides pretty much the standard features there's a few that I think are essential (in no particular order) - MoinMoin is python based and uses flat file storage, so it's really easy to install and it's really easy to run multiple wikis on the same server. - Large number of macros, especially FAQ macro and TableOfContents macro for easy customization - User registration (with email confirmation) and ACL's - Configurable edit locking/warning to avoid editing conflicts - Fast and lean. Also supports FastCGI and mod_python - Relatively easy to configure sharp looking themes. Links! http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinFeatures http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinScreenShots And if I can help setting up or customizing MoinMoin, let know :-) On Tue, 23 Nov 2004 16:30:54 -0500, Michael Jennings <mej at caosity.org> wrote:> I have selected 4 software packages for us to evaluate in order to > decide on the best possible engine for the much-requested cAos > Community Wiki.

I think it is important that we pick a Wiki that has an active developer community that is security conscious. Here is a recent example of an exploited Wiki security hole: http://lwn.net/Articles/112614/ As for which Wiki to choose based on that criteria, I unfortunately don't have any further useful input yet. Maybe when I'm half awake digesting tryptophan tomorrow, I'll take a look at some of the Wiki choices... :-) -- Tim Mattox - tmattox at gmail.com - http://homepage.mac.com/tmattox/
