Best all-around wiki

  by Matt Zukowski

Our organization needed a wiki system for internal I.T. documentation (runbooks, code snippets, etc.) We tried a number of other wiki systems before settling on Dokuwiki -- Confluence, MediaWiki, VQWiki... the list goes on.

Even though I try to avoid PHP apps as much as possible -- as their average quality tends to be questionable -- Dokuwiki turned out to be a perfect fit for us. It has exactly the range of features we needed (LDAP ... [More] authentication, syntax highlighting, etc.), it was super easy to set up, looks good right out of the box, and is just an all-around well engineered system.

I'd highly recommend this, especially when you want a solid all-around wiki solution that fits well in the context of a larger organization's I.T. department. [Less]

Good wiki-engine

    by taffit

DokuWiki is one of the best wiki-engines I've tested (and, in my opinion, the best of wiki-engines running on php without database). It has a very active community, constant developement and a bunch of indispensable features.
The pros in my opinion:
- active developement with quick bug fixing- extensible by many plugins (including authentication by Active Directory or other LDAP-directories)
- helpful community
- no database ... [More] required and really easy to setup and extend.

The cons:
- You cannot modify the layout of the wiki pages easily and to all extend (although there exist some sites running dokuwiki with a beautyful layout)
- The sophisitcated plugin-system is not easily understandable by novices (although quite powerful) [Less]
