Then you will probably be quite happy using MediaWiki. The first sentence on http://www.mediawiki.org/ reads: "MediaWiki is a free software wiki package originally written for Wikipedia." I run it on several Debian servers, and the package in Debian's main repository pretty much sets it up for you (grabs the MySQL packages for you if not already installed, creates the databases the Wiki needs, adds its config snippet for Apache, and so on). Themes and extensions take a little bit of work, but it's no different from customization of any other extensible Web application in that regard. Of course, wikis have some useful features MediaWiki lacks (docbook integration being a big one for many OSS projects). But given that so many users already know the markup for Wikipedia, it's quite popular. -- { IRL(Jeremy_Stanley); PGP(9E8DFF2E4F5995F8FEADDC5829ABF7441FB84657); SMTP([EMAIL PROTECTED]); IRC([EMAIL PROTECTED]); ICQ(114362511); AIM(dreadazathoth); YAHOO(crawlingchaoslabs); FINGER([EMAIL PROTECTED]); MUD([EMAIL PROTECTED]:6669); WWW(http://fungi.yuggoth.org/); } _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
