There are several sites that use JspWiki under Tomcat on z/OS for this
purpose. The pioneer was Rob Schramm, and with his assistance we
included it in an exercise on installing JspWiki in our z/OS Tomcat
in an Hour SHARE lab in 2007-2008. Harry Metske has also done
extensive work with JspWiki

It is for our group. I came into a shop that was an utter clusterfsck. It
helps to break down what I describe as Mainframe Lore. The way we use it,
is for things that are almost too small to document. Or when something
comes up, you throw it in there before you get distracted by the next
I should also mention that we use MediaWiki (Wikipedia's engine)
internally at dovetail.com and for oss4zos.org, since it is easy to
set up on a typical web hosting provider.Its fine also, but not as
flexible as JspWiki and won't currently run on z/OS.

John,
I had the same dream as you. I wanted a wiki for our internal documentation,
that was mainframe based so we had total control of it and it would be
immediately available during DR tests etc. I got Twiki working resonably well
at the time, but it didn't really catch on, then other
Kaiser uses Lotus Notes for some internal information. It's not a good
solution - searching is poor, and there's no central index of the various
databases.
It's being replaced by Jive Software SBS, branded internally as the KP
IdeaBook. It seems to work fairly well. I haven't heard of any
John,
I don't have many answers about setting up a Wiki, however now that I work at
IBM, we have several Wiki's in our help system. Some of them are very helpful,
and others are hard to use. I suspect its how much effort you put in to
setting it up, and how much you know how to organize it
I know that there are a few shops running JSPWiki under Tomcat on z/OS.

We have SharePoint available which runs under M$sqlserver. Most
information is not in wiki format and searching is quite inefficient
because of the high number of useless hits.
There is an open wiki w/~1400 pages that has not caught on with the
general user. about 500 of those pages are mine.
I'm having a real problem with inertia and too much bother from others in
my group. At present, we tend to just document things in a MS Word
document, then put that in a shared Windows folder with a good file name.
We then ignore it. grin
