To the best of my knowledge (almost nothing, TBH) at least one of the three, gollum, has an in-browser editor, too. Probably a good thing to have, e.g. for smaller edits, corrections, etc. For larger edits, I very much prefer using well-known tools such as (ma)git, (e)diff. Esp. if multiple pages are involved and should be in one commit. >> I'm not sure, which wiki software does work that way. > IIRC MoinMoin 2.x has an option for this.
