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.
