I've managed both TWiki and MediaWiki installs. (My TWiki experiance is ~3 years old. I currently manage some MediaWiki sites.) Based on my experience MediaWiki is much easier from an admin side. I remember upgrades of TWiki being a major pain since there wasn't a clean separation between content and config. MediaWiki upgrades have been reasonably easy. As far as access control, we've simply created a new wiki when we need to have content that's limited to a closed group. Using Symlinks it's easy to have one main install and then just wiki specific configuration files for each different wiki. -- Thanks Jefferson Cowart [email protected] _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
