- rurban 7y agoNot twiki, looks like MediaWiki to me. Wonder what attracts people to MediaWiki anyway. Horrible and insecure code all over, easy to break into. Only maintainable with massive manual administration costs. And hundreds of Wikipedia editors. On the opposite I once maintained phpwiki which never had any security problems, and all my known instances still work fine after decades. No much need for massive manual interventions. lots of admin plugins. XSS attacks impossible. I ran backup jobs for the DB (berkeley db was 30 faster than MySQL) and as HTML archive. So even if you have to put it down for php maintainance, you can trivially replace it with a readonly dump without any action buttons and without any PHP.
