Wikis

I'm using mediawiki.

I didn't find yet - for my personal usage - a too convincing argument to switch from this wiki software.

• Except perhaps a wiki with just flat files instead of DB, that would make it comfortable to also edit offline and just copy all back online.
• or just host it elsewhere, see e.g. on gitorious

Some thoughts why I use a wiki: has it already been 20 months?
