Organizing Information – wiki style

By santhosh

The principal attraction of wiki style web pages is that you can update while you browse, with out having to login into the server and update the code/HTML. I started hunting for one such wiki software to replace my home page. My criteria include that such a software should be easy to install, not require root or database access, written in PHP and is GPLed. I just found one : PmWiki from the comparisons page on Wikipedia. I did try couple of others before zeroing on pmwiki. For instance, installing twiki was very annoying. Though, pmwiki didn’t fare well on the Google trends, I was able to install it within 10 minutes in my /public_html/.. Such a pleasant experience, it was.

Their philosophy about doing things is very impressive. I recommend the following cool skins : NotSoSimple, NewsPaper, Rounded.

    Hi there, I’m planning to export a Wetpaint Wiki to the Twiki Platform. Just wondering. Have you got any advice on this matter?
