DCGLUG uses ErfurtWiki http://www.dcglug.org.uk/wiki/?id=ErfurtWiki (henceforth known as ewiki.) It is very lightweight, very easy to customise and - with the odd exception of bad user input - can be persuaded to render valid HTML quite easily. MySQL database, simple directory installation, as you can see from DCGLUG, edit privileges can be restricted. The only thing that doesn't quite work in the DCGLUG version is dump to a tar.gz file. > I instantly thought of a Linux box running LAMP with a Wiki on top. > > I've setup Ubuntu 6.06 server on an old spare PC today (Dell GX110 - P3 > 667MHz with 128MB memory and a 20GB hard disk).

Once I started with ewiki, I simply stopped looking for anything else. I've considered other wikis, I've tried full CMS tools like Mambo, Zope, Drupal, Wordpress and about a dozen others. ewiki is very lightweight, it fits in with *your* design instead of forcing you into the mindset of the wiki developer and it just gets on with the job.
