Hi, One of our local town halls has asked me to implement a wiki-based website dedicated to ecological farming. The wiki is supposed to host a variety of documents in text, video and audio format. I've never used any wiki engines myself. Is there any one you can recommend in particular ? I'm using CentOS 5 on the server, so I would be glad to use a solution where I don't have to jump through burning loops (e. g. install a more recent version of PHP/Python/whatever) to make it work. Cheers, Niki

Untar it into a www document root, set perms, point your browser to it and configure it. jlc

That's what wikipedia runs on, and may be slightly more involved to install and configure than other, lighter weight wikis, but it industrial strength. In addition, it's not too hard to add some security - where I was working a couple of years ago, one of our developers knocked out, in short order, an area that was only accessible by password. mark

Really easy to setup, no database required, just untar the thing in a web directory, run its setup page, and have at it.
