Well, I can elaborate on this a bit. What Guy said is correct. We foundI'm sortof hopeing that the debian maintainers fixed that. They usually do.
Zope very hard to make sense of, and very hard to automate and interact
with. (none of us knew Python, much less Zope well enough).
A friend of mine installed Plone (which is built on top of Zope, so he had to do that too) last week. He had a site up in about 20 minutes.
As for Wikis: it seems to me that Zope would be an overkill if everything
you want is a wiki. My take on some of the Wikis I encountered:
But zope is an infrastructure to some of the others, isn't it?
Not really. You need Zope for either ZWiki or Plone. I found Zwiki one of the least appealing from all the clones I've used. Its syntax is clumsy, and it has no interesting extras. Plone is a different story. You might be interested, but its definitely not a wiki.
In any case, I'm going after something available in debian stable. This means, as far as I can tell, squishdot, zwiki, and that's pretty much it.
Seems a bit of a crude cut. Most wikis I've installed where not much more than a single PHP / Perl script. Just drop it on your apache and keep walking. Why limit yourself to those?
These are a few wikis which I can testify need about 5-25 minutes to set up, and deliver decent functionality:
http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl
http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/PmWiki/PmWiki
http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/
http://www.jspwiki.org/
UseMod is probably the easiest to install. JSPWiki has very nice change tracking, navigation and attachment support.
A friend I asked testified that its a major job to install. Power sometimes comes with pain.3. TWiki - Does not seem too easy to set up, but I was very impressed from
its power and conventions. Supports attachments very well.
My guess would be that's its not a walk in the park.4. MediaWiki - this is the wiki behind the Wikipedia. Very, very powerful.
Could be an overkill for many uses. Never tried setting it up.
