[Web4lib] Wikis, access control, calendars

[Keith D. Engwall]

Dear Web4lib,
 
After the wonderful Technology Summit in Charlotte last Thursday, I've
gotten the go ahead to create an internal Wiki at our library.
Questions:
 
1) Can anyone recommend an in-house wiki that is particularly user
friendly (and pretty)?  I've looked at a few, but would appreciate
hearing from anyone who's actually implemented one.
 
2) For access control (internal Wiki), how are people handling this?
I'm thinking limiting access in the apache config to a particular
subnet, but that may require some wrangling with IT to get our staff
machines on their own subnet.
 
3) One of the things I'd like to provide is a calendar for people to use
to post their schedules, vacations, etc.  This is probably a separate
piece, but can anyone recommend an in-house product for this?
 
Thanks,
 
Keith
