My wiki

Tuesday, November 2. 2004

I have been experimenting with a few wikis for my site. A great place to look for your wiki needs is the Wiki Engines page on the WikiWik (which incidentally was the first wiki). I have settled for Pmwiki, which you can see here. My reasons for choosing the Pmwiki are

Written in PHP and released under GPL
Does not need a database backend to run
Easy to understand documentation
Customizations are in a separate configuration file
InterMap capabilities to provide links to other WikiWikiWeb systems
Ability to organize pages into WikiGroups, with headers and access controls shared among all pages in the group

However, I like the interface of Wikipedia more

Yes I agree, wikipedia has a more intutive interface. But it is a AK47 of wiki engines and I just needed a small pocket knife for my personal use

.

The wiki uses files (rather than a database as quite a few wikis do) to store its pages. I might have been updating some pages while you were reading it.
