    MindTouch (previously known as Dekiwiki) is pretty nice. We use it for our Intranet and our users seem to love it.

  2. Have a look at WikiMatrix, where you can compare them all by answering a few questions.

  3. We use the open source Screw Turn wiki. It is just about to have a new release (version 3) which will support both WISIWIG editing and markup.

    It runs in on a windows platform under ASP.net in IIS.

  4. We successfully use Mediawiki internally and there's a way of replacing the normal editor with FCKEditor for WYSIWYG editing at http://mediawiki.fckeditor.net.

    Not to mention a range of other extensions which may be useful.

  5. We have been using Atlassian's Confluence, for about two years now. It has been great, they have other tools that integrate with it. It does cost money, but it isn't that much and they even have a hosted option so that you don't need to deal with administration. Confluence also has a built in WYSIWYG editor and has import/export to Word documents and export to PDFs.

    One of the big benefits is that there is a right 3rd party ecosystem for it and many new plugins and features are available.

  6. Windows SharePoint Services has a wiki feature with an easy to use interface and a WYSIWYG editor. It's provided as a free download for Windows Server.

  7. I used Dokuwiki after doing some research using the wiki comparison site: wikimatrix.org.

    What I liked about Dokuwiki is that it did not require a database and was easy to setup, administer and extend through PHP plugins. I have found that the plugins are very powerful and that it was pretty straightforward to create new ones (I am not a PHP expert at all) - se my blog post on this: blog.monnet-usa.com/?p=33

    I am running Dokiwiki on IIS and used a AD integration plugin to allow Windows Authentication for my users.

  8. i'm quite happy user of dokuwiki. in my case it's authenticating users against Active Directory via LDAP.

    i can see there is WYSIWYG plugin, but i've never used it.

  9. Foswiki has a WYSIWYG editor, see it in action in the highlight video on the home page.

  10. One good wiki solution we're using is XWiki. I recommend it for the following reasons:

    • speed, both perceived ( client ) and actual ( server );
    • scriptability - you can customise your pages using Velocity, Groovy, Python and ( not sure ) Ruby;
    • good WYSYWIG editor;
    • active development;
    • good turnaround time on reported defects.
