Yes, and I've also run moinmoin on z. moinmoin's backend is just the filesystem, so you can "cheat" and modify content with vi. But, having used WYSIWYG editors for a long time, it is hard to go back to tagging, especially with a project that requires substantial documentation. I like Confluence the best because it creates browser tabs that allow you to edit content in both "tagged" mode and what I would call "near-WYSIWYG". The presentation also seems just a bit more polished than the others. > And once you do get sufficient content in the Wiki you may need a way > to re-use that text to produce a static web site or a printed book. > Depending on how text is kept in the system, that may be easy or very > hard. I concur with Rob on this. It seems hard to "get your arms around" your wiki content. But I didn't do a lot of work with any wiki, so there are probably tools/functions that allow you to. It's just a different mindset from the book model of documentation. Hope this helps.
