Wiki Engines

[Peter Dobratz]

Recently, I setup a similar system quickly at my work to try to get 
some feedback as to whether or not such a collaborative tool would be 
useful for our purposes.  Basically, I installed Debian unstable on a 
spare box and went through all the wiki Debian packages until I found 
one that worked with minimal effort.  Note that all email related 
problems would have been fixed had I taken the time to setup email on 
the Debian box.

Twiki (Debian package twiki) was almost able to run as is, but it kept 
complaining about not being able to send email.

Moin Moin (Debian package moin) did run without errors as is, but 
simply ignores all user requests at sending email.

Both of these have revision control built in.  Moin Moin may be a 
better fit because it has fewer dependencies and also can run as its 
own webserver.
