    What about DekkiWiki by Mindtouch! It's a great self-hosted wiki. It's my favorite and doesn't rely on Wiki Mark up which makes adoption in an enterprise great...

    It's also FOSS! Free and Open Source...
  • Aaron Fulkerson · 11 months ago
    @Drew,

    MindTouch Deki and Deki Express are both listed in this list. :-)

    Thanks so much for your enthusiasm. Send ErinL @ MindTouch dot com an email with your physical address and she'll mail you a MindTouch tshirt. :-)

    You'd be amazed how many of these 'Wiki' resources have their own MMORPG sections. It's amazing how when people are left alone with the tools required to create things, they go out and do it for free. There are guides to literally every single online game across these wikis and guides for millions of other things. Just look at Ehow. People write guides for everything, for free!

    I used wikispaces to develop a library of links for my high school biology students. I found the interface extremely easy to use and best of all-- it's free! Wikispaces specializes in education, so they may not be for everyone.

    Is there any wiki with built in functionality to import existing simple
    static html sites?
  • Aaron Fulkerson · 11 months ago
    Sure, easy to do this with MindTouch Deki. Static HTML, JSON, XML... whatever...

    Query here: http://forums.developer.mindtouch.com

  • Steve Bjorg · 11 months ago
    Deki uses XHTML for storing content, so importing HTML pages is trivial, starting with copy-paste -- the easiest, but also most laborious method to import content. You can also import HTML dynamically on-demand, giving you some nice content mashup capabilities. A good place to find out more are the forums [1] where thousands of users share tips and tricks on how to get the most out of Deki.

    Cheers,

    - Steve

    Wetpaint is also a great Wiki site that is really easy to use--www.wetpaint.com.

    For single page HTML to wiki text conversions (in whatever language you need), there's this: http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki/

    Seriously, no love for TWiki (http://twiki.org)?
  • Dave Gifford · 11 months ago
    Try out these two versions of a TiddlyWiki adaptation I created for note-taking.
    It's called No-Brainer Notes:

    Great compilation. Very easy to quickly review what is out there and then launch over to the site.

    There may be more over at WikiIndex, but this format is much easier to digest and use. Please update it from time to time!

    I am in love with Mashable and all these amazing lists!! Thanks
  • Dayton Lawyer · 11 months ago
    This is a phenomenal resource. Thank you for the list of wiki tools.
  • Rizwan · 11 months ago
    Heyy,

    What about Confluence. I think this one should surely be there on the list.
  • Max · 11 months ago
    Yes, Rizwan is right! Atlassians Confluence should be on your compilation.

  • John · 11 months ago
    You need to make it clearer that these are 100 *others* meaning ones not already listed in the first article. Otherwise it looks like you have massive gaps in your list and instead chose to list the 100 worst wiki tools!
  • Bill from Atlassian · 11 months ago
    @Rizwan @Max. Atlassian Confluence was mentioned in the first article, The Wiki Toolbox: 30+ Wiki Tools and Resources. This article was a follow-on working down the long tail of wiki alternatives.
  • Rizwan · 11 months ago
    @cameron @bill from atlassian: eeks!!! ....didn't know that...made a booboo ;)
  • boyip · 11 months ago
    I evaluate almost all downloadable wiki software, wibokr (http://wibokr.com) is excellent choice. Very impressive user experience, really worth a try...
  • Ric Roberts · 11 months ago
    Thanks for the mention. :-)

    Any teachers looking through your list might feel overwhelmed, especially if they are new to wikis.

    Kyle Maxwell: (in response to #14 above)

    TWiki did get love, but with its current name, Foswiki (http://foswiki.org).
    Turns out the person who forked JOSwiki to create TWiki, but who became a
    minority code contributor years ago, locked out the development community
    just two months ago after the lure of cash from a venture capitalist
    and threatened lawsuits over use of the name, when they wouldn't proclaim
    him benevolent dictator for life. So they rebranded and went on, and in two
    months put in 1900 SVN commits and more development work than TWiki had had
    in the previous two years. Meanwhile, minor development continues under the
    former name by the dictator and his paid toadie, with visions of venture
    capital sugarplums (still?) dancing in the head..

    Check it out -- Foswiki has had lots of new love and will soon (2 months?)
    have some very distinguishing new features, like the ability to run from a
    memory stick standalone, without a web server.. it's already quite ahead of
    TWiki in bug fixing and maintainability -- and more importantly, it's where
    all (minus one) the old TWiki developers are keeping the flame alive.

    Great list of wiki sites. I would also include http://rentwiki.com and http://productwiki.com.
  • Marcelo Stein · 8 months ago
    You missed Wikidot (http://www.wikidot.com), a fantastic wikifarm, with a great community to help anyone. They have also a open source initiative at http://www.wikidot.org.

    has anyone use TikiWiki with Virtual PC? If so, can you share any findings?
  • dlafont · 7 months ago
    Impressive list. As pointed out by several other users, some key players are missing:

    - Xwiki : http://www.xwiki.com . A fully open sourced platform, avaialble in SaaS mode. Very powerful, in fact it is probably the ideal mix of a wiki and development platform for collabroative solutions

    - Confluence: proprietary, on premice or SaaS mode. Very powerful, incredible community and very robust codebase.

    You can find a list of leading open source wiki software here.
