We did two OSS wikis for storing build procedure process notes. Moin Moin was first over Apache, and I didn't like it at all. The second, Wikit, I liked a lot. Cross platform (M$ or Linux hosts), it has its own server and doesn't need apache, and it has a lot of abilities and features, most of which I didn't use. http://www.equi4.com/starkit/wikit.html Now here are the things about wikis I don't like. The content is hard to archive and label. And it's hard to extract management data. if Confluence addresses these issues, then I myself would be interested in it. BTW, in our shop, others scrapped both and went with ... wait for it ... SharePoint. God I hate that program. All the worst elements of wikis, email archives, and M$.
