Wiki Shopping Part Deux

I mentioned early this morning that I’m looking for a wiki that’s just right for the folks at the office. I received an excellent tip from David in the comments: Check out WikiMatrix.

That site is going to save me tons of time.

At first I was a bit overwhelmed, then I found the Choice Wizard that helps narrow the choices dramatically via simple interview. I might have to give up on the dream of having a WYSIWYG enabled .NET based wiki…

While bopping around the WikiMatrix, I happened to notice that Socialtext has gone Open Source. Cool news, but Windows is not supported… nor is MySQL (yet).

While looking into that, I found the Wikiwyg project to add WYSIWYG editing to wiki engines:

Wikiwyg has been successfully integrated with the following wiki engines: Socialtext, Kwiki, MediaWiki, Trac and TWiki.

That opens things up a bit! I could even fall back to XAMPP and MediaWiki which is what we were using before the big crash. This time around it could offer the WYSIWYG action… We’ll see, I still have quite a list to look at.

Keep the suggestions coming, I’m all ears!

[Update] I checked out the MediaWiki / Wikiwyg install guide.  I had to chuckle at the warning at the top of the page.  ROFL.  OK, scratch that idea, I don’t feel like being a guinea pig this week.
