Ask HN: Recommend a Wiki that isn't MediaWiki?
Hey, I need to set up a random wiki. Featureset isn't particularly important, something simpler than MediaWiki is preferred. The main criteria is that it should look really snazzy. Rounded corners and such. What wiki are people using these days? Thanks.
- mg1313 18y agoTry Tikiwiki. Quite powerful. Reviewed on MyTestBox.com.
- kineticac 18y agoare you just putting a wiki page together? pbwiki is pretty cool =)
- DenisM 18y agoI'm using wikidot for my help & suport site: http://help.memengo.com/ http://help.memengo.com/ Loving it - simple to use and has built-in forums. Two birds with one stone.
- lastkarrde 18y agoMoin Moin. Python powered.
- csomar 18y agoI also vote for Wikidot, it's simpler than other Wikis
- asjo 18y agoI really like the simplicity and chosen featureset of Hatta - it is version control based (Mercurial) and works really well. The author is very responsive. http://hatta.sheep.art.pl/ http://hatta.sheep.art.pl/ "Snazzy" is quite subjective - I like the default design not to scream "I am a wiki with a gazillion fancy features you'll never use", but your milage may vary :-)

- bjclark 18y agoWell, it's an implementation of the original wiki, but not the same exact implementation the original runs.
- rufius 18y agoI like DokuWiki and MoinMoin.
- daniel71l 18y agoI've used TikiWiki for an internal Wiki here in my company. a small reason can be read here: http://design-to-last.com/Technical/intranet-wiki-searching-for-alternatives.html http://design-to-last.com/Technical/intranet-wiki-searching-... Daniel
- taylan 18y agoTry http://www.wikimatrix.org/ http://www.wikimatrix.org/ if you'd like to compare available wiki engines side by side.
- rms 18y agoI actually got started on that site. I went through their questionnaire and it told me 53 wikis met my needs and that made for a bit of a ridiculous looking comparison matrix.
- garyrichardson 18y agoI've become a fan of Confluence. It looks decent has a wysiwyg editor. It loses points for being written in Java (requires a fat vm to run a small instance).
- njrc 18y agoCheck out TiddlyWiki.
- rms 18y agoThanks for the recommendations everyone, we're going to go with Moin Moin.
- CraigBuchek 18y agoI love DokuWiki. It's really easy to set up, and doesn't even require a database. It uses flat files, which you can read even if the DokuWiki site is down. It's pretty easy to use as well.
