Wiki software

I’m frustrated with FlexWiki — it’s a good system, but it lacks some features which I find ‘’so” useful on Wikipedia. For example, [[bracket links]] and the related lack of need to SmashWordsTogetherToMakeLinks. It’s far too techy for my purpose, which is to use a wiki as a way to keep documentation in progress.

I looked around for other wiki software. Mediawiki is an obvious candidate, being mature and by definition containing all the features I want. Yet it’s far too much trouble for me to install on our production systems (it’s a LAMP product, whereas our environment is WISA – Windows IIS SQLServer ASP.NET). Other wiki systems either look crappy or have no features, or are just as hard to install as Mediawiki.

So I guess I struggle with Flexwiki for now. Ugh.
