“And because of their long association with open source
projects many of the most popular wikis are themselves open source.
Here are five open source enterprise wikis to keep an eye on.

“1. MindTouch
MindTouch (formerly deki wiki) is an enterprise wiki and
collaborative portal which allows access to Web-service extensions,
PHP plug-ins, user and group permissions, and SSL encryption.
Support and many of the advanced features are only available in the
commercial versions.

“2. Mediawiki
MediaWiki is the wiki application made famous for running
Wikipedia. It’s designed to be run on a large server farm for a Web
site that gets millions of hits per day. MediaWiki supports
versioning of pages and can manage image and multimedia files. For
large wikis with lots of users, MediaWiki supports caching and can
be easily coupled with Squid proxy server software.”
