At our company we are currently looking for a good wiki. We have a demo site up that uses
PmWiki and
thus far it's not too bad. However I would really like a Wiki that meets the
following criteria:
-
Is free and Open Source
-
Written in a C# or VB.Net - so that we could extend it should be choose to
-
Is really simple to use
-
Supports code syntax highlighting
-
Uses HTML instead of some funky wiki syntax - we are a development house and we like
to have more control over how the content looks
-
Supports templates for areas of the Wiki
There is a
list of .Net
wikis available at CSharp-Source.Net but none of them have impressed me.
FlexWiki seems
to be quite popular and has some interesting
tools.
I also had a look at
Perspective but it uses
Microsoft Indexing Services which I'd rather avoid. There is another ASP based
wiki, called
OpenWiki, but I'm not interested in
using a really dated technology. I'd much rather use a PHP or Java based Wiki
than an old ASP based on.
I have not found anything that satisfies my requirements thus far. But I have
a couple of links that do a decent enough comparison of various Wiki offerings:
