In case you didn't catch the original thread, I also pointed
out there that switching from ProWiki to Gollum might be a case
of jumping from the frying pad into the fire. Gollum, the
GitHub wiki software, supports none of the useful features of
common Wiki software, such as search (!), comfortable history
browsing, talk pages, wach lists, permission control, etc.
There are also a couple of UI issues which make it less than
ideal for larger installations, like the fact that you can
accidentally change/break a page URL very easily by just
editing the main title box.
I suggested gollum to avoid hosting problems, though I've never
used it itensively. That said, I don't think, we can do anything
wrong with a Mediawiki instance.
