I used to use TinyWiki: http://wiki.slowass.net/?TinyWiki. It is less than 100 lines of Perl that uses some smart hacks to make it very full featured. However the author has put a little too much effort into keeping it under 100 lines, the result being 100 lines of mostly unreadable Perl. <ShamelessPlug> So, I wrote my own Wiki which I think is pretty cool. Features: Easy to add content (my mother-in-law uses it) Easy to add and work with images (automatic resizing (imagemagick) and placement) Simple design: One perl cgi (~500 lines), one text file for each wiki page, version control with cvs Code is readable to me (maybe to you too?). Supports publishing specified pages to separate URL as read only (unpublished links are dynamically removed) Email notification when a change is made Blog style front page - shows sample from most recently edited page Bugs: yes :-) Could use a security audit Please check it out - I could use some feedback: www.pauite.com (demo version - feel free to hack on it as much as you want - I can always revert with CVS if you really screw it up) www.vdomck.org (published/read only version) http://www.vdomck.org/~crazy/wiki.txt - the code (save as cgi to run - you will probably need some guidance from me to make it work though) <EvenMoreShamelessPromotion> Two of my best Wiki pages: http://www.vdomck.org/?page=EthiopiaTrip - Travel memoirs from Ethiopia http://www.vdomck.org/?page=FacesOfEthiopia - Pictures from Ethiopia </EvenMoreShamelessPromotion> </ShamelessPlug> That said, the Wiki concept is as Simple-Stupid and obvious as the web itself, so both installing it and using it should also follow the KISS principle. I would recommend trying a few out. Also think through what kind of Wiki you are building. Who are the content producers, your audience? What type of content do you want on there - pictures, long text, short text. How often will it change? Mostly adding new pages, mostly changing existing pages? Answering these questions will help you assess how well a given solution fits your needs.
