Alternate wiki-implementations

Revision as of 23:39, 6 November 2003 by 142.177.104.35 (talk)

Currently 3 out of 20 of our registered users are registered MediaWiki developers, which makes our percentage of developers among users 15%, which is likely the highest figure any public MediaWiki installation can boost so that is an good incentive to try to adapt MediaWiki for our use over other wikis


MediaWikiTikiWikiMoinMoin
  • Proven to perform well under heavy load - but with hard limits
  • Most likely basis for wikitext standard
  • Working now for R&D purposes
  • Dedicated developer community which also mostly develops content
  • Readable documentation, thanks to the above
  • A very high ratio of developers (15% of registered users) registered in consumerium
  • supports SQL only
  • Group management built-in
  • Visualization of wiki-links
  • Polls built in
  • Many developers doing lots of detail work on CM and CMS
  • supports ALL databases not just MySQL
  • Good parser
  • Python language
  • excellent architecture making extensibility very simple
  • troll in the logo
  • no need for SQL

Others include VeryQuickWiki (a Java wiki), UseMod (only advantage is that it dumps XML output, very very very important until there is a real wikitext standard).
