Refreshing Professionalism in Open-Source

  by PatchesPal

After reviewing as many Wiki offerings as I could I have chosen Deki Wiki.

My community of users would be unwilling to learn to use the editors of the other systems I examined. There may be extensions to fix this but I want to write content not code.

Deki Wiki enables User Generated Content via a wyswhg editor very similar to MS Word. No proprietary markup language.

I host my site on Go Daddy. They install mediawiki ... [More] and pmwiki as part of their hosting offering. So I tried out mediawiki. The lack of documentation and the (how can I be polite about this?) rat's nest of the projects site was so confusing and impenetrable to me as a novice that I went shopping for a better solution. I believe I have found it in Deki Wiki.

I wanted to use it as a seamless extension of my site but opted to use MindTouch's free hosting and provide links back and forth on my site and my Wiki.


The cons so far are:
1. Go Daddy will not allow sufficient control of shared hosting servers to install the program. they would require me to have a virtual private server at the least.

2. The user community forum at forums.opengarden.org is still relatively small. I am used to the huge community of Joomla users and the support available via their forums.

3. No books -- Deki Beginners etc are not yet available. There are a few available (though with poor Amazon reviews) for mediawiki.

4. I do not know how deep the developer community is on this project. It looks to me, after a cursory examination that it is just MindTouch so far.

    Is that XML in your wiki?

    Every so often, I get the question of "why would anybody want to store XML in a wiki?" Granted, this question is usually brought up by a competitor rather than by a customer. At first brush, XML just makes things more complicated, but this perception quickly dissipates as your collaboration ...
