Journal Ruzty's Journal: Which wiki should I use? 1

I need to quickly put up some documentation at 0rk and allow others on my team to do the same. I figured wiki software was the way to go. But then the pain began.

I have only a few requirements:
apache 2.0 compatible
Written in C, shell or perl (no PHP, don't ask...)
File based info store (no DB, to avoid dealing with DBAs)
Ability to control write access at the user level and some layout control

I've tried MicKI and it has no real user/auth functionality and the layout is controlled by modifying the code and recompiling the binary. I've tried Twiki, which meets most requirements. But, it is painful to configure (hand editing config options in control pages) and comes with an excess of default layout/content I'm not up to chopping out or modifying before I can even begin to publish.

Call me spoiled but I want the equivalent of Movable Type in Wiki form. Any suggestions?

Which wiki should I use?

Comments Filter:
  • I tried TWiki and gave up on it, then went to MediaWiki, which was pretty good (except for IP addresses. It doesn't do IP addresses).

    From what I remember, TWiki was the best of the non-PHP stuff.

    Does this list [la-grange.net] help?
