exploring Dokuwiki as replacement for Mediawiki

I want to use Dokuwiki (reason: flat file system instead database usage).

The first thing I want to do is: use it as a real replacement (e.g. enable blog, cite, ...)

Because of that I've disabled for now account creation in this wiki.

2011, August 12 - I will stay with MediaWiki

  • I've decided to stay with MediaWiki,
    so, I updated: upgrade to Mediawiki 1.17.0
  • some reasons why I went to MediaWiki again:
    • the advantage of flat file vs. mysql did not come
      -> too many "internal server error"s (http 500) -> either it was my provider's fault or some DokuWiki plugin
      instead of "wasting" the time with spending more time on this, I went back.
      Yeah, I know, throw all the stones at me...
      • it started all great actually, see my DokuWiki post - who knows I might give it a try in the future?
      • though I'm thinking actually now to bring all my previous blog posts to MediaWiki so I can use the Semantic MediaWiki extension with them, see here
    • I tried to emulate more my existing MediaWiki configuration (e.g. template, ...)
      • which per se is not bad, but it took too much time
