Zope has too "Wiki" options:
1. ZWiki, which is a wiki clone, and quite an annoying one IMHO.
2. Plone (http://plone.org), which is much more than a wiki - more like an open CMS: you can install "products" over it, or script it in Python.


We use Plone with great satisfaction and extensive customization at http://www.weblabs.org.uk/wlplone), but I'm not the one who does the coding, so I can only testify from a manager / user point of view. You can test drive a plone system at http://www.objectis.org - they do free plone / zope hosting. As a matter of fact, I registered http://linuxil.objectis.net/ some time ago & announced it here, but the response was a bit, er, modest. Register & I'll make you a manager of that, so you can get the feel of it.

Plone, by the way, has a Wiki product you can plug in, which looks quite good.

Another Wiki clone I've used with great pleasure is jspwiki. Of course, if you're not a Java fan it might not appeal to you that much. I've used a few other clones, in perl, php etc. Drop me a direct note if you have any questions.

The biggest of them all is TWiki, which (AFAIK) is written in perl, and has a module for anything you can think of. Gabor would probably know more about perl clones.

If you want to educate yourself further, there's no place like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki.

Hi friends and all,

We are looking for a good Wiki type solution for hamakor's web site. Being the reknown paranoid I am, I'm looking for a well known solution, prefereably one that I can just apt-get install. For reasons I would rather not go into at the moment, if it has to use a database system, I prefer it to be Postgresql to MySQL.

I was wondering about Zope. I know it is more of an infrastructure than a system, but it's supposed to have a wiki system (as well as 2^37 other things), and it is, by all means, a well known solution. I was more wondering about whether it is not going to turn out to be a total overkill, and an administration nightmare? I have not administrated it before.

Also, if the good people of this list have any other suggestions, please feel free to post them here:

Many thanks,
         Shachar
