		<description><![CDATA[<img src="/images/wikis.png" width="200" height="600" align="right" alt="Wiki Explosion"/>I spent a few weeks in December 2005 investigating the universe of wiki software, and confirmed what I already suspected:  It's a very big universe with many wikis!  It would be impossible to explore them all, so I first tried to come up with a short list of wiki engines to focus on.  Fortunately, there are a number of excellent sites that attempt to provide matrices of wiki software functions and abilities.  Here are a few I used and recommend:
<ul><li>Good reviews of wiki software at <a href="http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2004/11/04/which_wiki.html">onLamp.com</a>, a site devoted to open-source LAMP products.</li><li>This is a very thorough â€œ<a href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiChoicetree">choice tree</a>â€ for wikis.</li><li><a href="http://www.splitbrain.org/">Splitbrain</a>, which makes <a href="http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki%3ADokuWiki">Dokuwiki</a>, has a <a href="http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:compare">good comparison page on wikis</a>.</li><li>Best of all, donâ€™t miss the new <a href="http://www.wikimatrix.org/">Wiki Matrix</a> website, which evolved from a static HTML table matrix last fall. </li></ul>After studying these various resources, I was able to narrow the list of wikis down to the following: 
<ul><li><a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki">MediaWiki</a> (my default choice)</li><li><a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/">PMWiki</a></li><li><a href="http://usemod.com/">UseModWiki</a></li><li><a href="http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/">phpWiki</a></li><li><a href="http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki%3ADokuWiki">Dokuwiki</a></li><li><a href="http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php">TikiWiki</a>.</li></ul>MediaWiki was the default choice, since I assumed it was probably the best of the lot, given its starring role in powering <a href="http://www.wikipedia.org/">Wikipedia</a> and just about every other high-profile wiki you encounter on the web.  After a painless default installation of MediaWiki, I had the usual MediaWiki shell and did a few quick walk-throughs of the structure just to make sure all the plumbing was in place. It seemed to be, so I proceeded to install a few of the others from my short list.]]></description>
