Hi Andy I was/am new to wiki, when I decided to look into it I thought I would go for the one that everyone uses, the one that is Wikipaedia, the foundation etc etc etc . So I downloaded it, tried to install it, tried to work with mysql and so on, (my ex web host was no help). As a result I found one didn¹t require mysql and seemed to be low maintenance, which it has turned out to be. Next came the adaptability of it, then came the fact that it did just about everything else the other wikis promised Pmkwiki has... The final thing was this user group which have worked out all my kinks and made my site a success.
