Wiki Software Alternatives
Looking for the best Wiki software?
- http://www.wikimatrix.org/ – compare wiki features and requirements side by side. Try the Wizard, it lets you pick wikis by language, database/flatfile, commercial/open source.
Here are some notes and recommendations I saw on the uwebd listserv.
- “Try Confluence. http://www.atlassian.com/ It’s an enterprise wiki. Very nice. A free alternative is: MediaWiki. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki
- “I’ve been using TiddlyWiki for the last ten months in my lab. It’s free, and available at http://www.tiddlywiki.com. I would highly recommend it. You can also read more about its ongoing development at Google groups: http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki The only downside is that it’s not as IE-friendly, and favors Firefox (which is fine by me because my audience and I primarily use Linux)”
- http://www.oddmuse.org/ “is easy to set up and use”
- http://wikicities.com/
- http://www.wikispaces.com/
- http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:dokuwiki DokuWiki is a standards compliant, simple to use Wiki, mainly aimed at creating documentation of any kind.
