[Web4lib] Choosing a wiki

[Hoyte, Daniel]

I just finished a round of testing for our internal wikis. We only had
three requirements:
	WYSIWYG editing.
	FOS- Free/ open source
	Wiki farming/Multi-wiki- We currently have about 10 internal
wikis.

Even though it is overkill for our needs, I am going to use Mediawiki. 
	My users are already familiar with the interface. (Wikipedia)
	It is open source and written in PHP. I can extend it if I need
to.
	Plugins are available.

Subject: [Web4lib] Choosing a wiki

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to install a wiki to be used by students in the PhD courses
we offer. I'd like to get this group's feedback on their favourite
wikis. I will be using a LAMP platform.

I have experience with Confluence, and like it quite well, and the
academic pricing is fair.

Opinions, please!

Cheers,
Kim
