Wiki Resources

wiki Wiki Resources Wikipedia defines a wiki as a website that uses wiki software, allowing the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked Web pages, using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor, within the browser. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites, to power community websites, for personal note taking, in corporate intranets, and in knowledge management systems. Most wikis serve a specific purpose, and off topic material is promptly removed by the user community. Such is the case of the collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia. In contrast, open purpose wikis accept all sorts of content without rigid rules as to how the content should be organized.

If you are interested in this topic then I have complied a number of resources that you may find beneficial.

Bitweaver is an open source content management system. Its speed and power are ideal for large-scale community websites and corporate applications, but it simple enough for non-technical small site users to set up and administrate.
ConnectedText is a powerful but simple information management system, based on wiki principles. Indeed, it is a personal wiki system. But this only begins to describe it. ConnectedText is also much more.
DokuWiki is a standards compliant, simple to use Wiki, mainly aimed at creating documentation of any kind. It is targeted at developer teams, workgroups and small companies. It has a simple but powerful syntax which makes sure the datafiles remain readable outside the Wiki and eases the creation of structured texts. All data is stored in plain text files – no database is required.
Trac is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. Trac uses a minimalistic approach to web-based software project management. Our mission is to help developers write great software while staying out of the way. Trac should impose as little as possible on a team’s established development process and policies.
WikyBlog began as an attempt to combine the features of wikis and blogs into a single efficient application. We took collaborative editing and revision history, mixed it with journal styled organization and threaded comments then added our own touch with an AJAX enhanced interface and Google Maps support. After all was said and done, we’ve ended up with an application that stands out from the others.
Wikidbase is an idea that – as the name suggests – combines the functionality of a database system and a wiki web application. The wikidbase concept is based on the view that non-technical users of a database system (i.e. those who are the experts of the nature of the data they handle) should be able to create and evolve their database model over time (i.e. without paying a database expert over and over again to do it). This is particularly relevant to non-profit and charity organisations.
TiddlyWiki is a single html file which has all the characteristics of a wiki – including all of the content, the functionality (including editing, saving, tagging and searching) and the style sheet. Because it’s a single file, it’s very portable – you can email it, put it on a web server or share it via a USB stick.
XoWiki is a wiki implementation for OpenACS in XoTcl . Instead of trying to implement the full set of wiki markup commands in systems like MediaWiki, XoWiki is based on a rich text editor and focuses more on integration with OpenACS (e.g. categories, general comments, adp-includes, ad-substitution of template variables). XoWiki combines aspects of wikis (ease of page-creation) with aspects of a content management system (revisions, reusable content, multiple languages, page templates).

LittleWiki is a Web site where you can create public and private wiki pages. A Wiki is a Web site where anyone can enter and edit content. That means you can post and edit information about virtually anything you wish, and you can read what others have posted too.
BrainKeeper’s Enterprise Wiki Software helps enhance business communication with a centralized knowledge base that everyone in your organization can use. We provide a whole host of features to make it incredibly easy to get information into the system, find the relevant information you need, and notify the right people when essential information is added.
Incentive can be thought of as an information hub for a group, a company or an organization. Compared to a traditional intranet with few editors and many idle consumers Incentive becomes a living knowledge base where everyone contributes. Most companies believe their employee’s knowledge is one of its most important assets but very few have a good strategy how to maintain and spread that knowledge over time. Incentive forms a foundation for such a strategy.
