Re: A wiki for docs? Doku-Wiki and how to set it up...

["Simon North" <sintac -at- home -dot- nl>]

Hi Guys 

I've been using dokuwiki for all our documentation for the past 4 years. 
It uses flat files, which means that (in my case where I had 1300+ C++ 
classes to document) you can just swap files in and out using a file 
copy to the wiki directories. It also means you can do tricks like we do; 
'clone' part of the wiki to make it public while keeping other parts local 
and private by just copying files from one wiki enngine's directories to 
another's.

You do need a web server, but there is a version out there that runs 
entirely from USB stick. It includes a tiny little webserver that requires
little or no configuration.  

Merry Christmas to one and all, 
Simon North
