Is there a ready made package for a wiki server on a SME-machine?
Which one would you suggest?

I don't know of any ready made package, but you can install MediaWiki 1.6.10 on SME Server from source. This source can be found at sourceforge or at the mediwiki site.

I am using this for some time and like it. I am not an expert on wiki's but this seems to do everything I wanted. Let me know if you find something better.

The install went exactly as shown in the posting.

I found that IE was better for edits than Firefox as for some reason the Gui editor task bar will not come up in Firefox.

I posted about it at MoinMoin wiki but did not get an answer that I could understand or act on.

I love dokuwiki

If you want something for documentation and something any idiot can use then this is perfect.

http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:dokuwiki

Further the data is just kept in flat-files so you can install it anywhere what supports php and backup is just a matter of making a copy.

Downside... the update process

You would think the authors would be better a documenting the upgrade process is they make something called dokuwiki. Still only took 30 minutes to figure out.

Initial setup time = 10 minutes.

usemod wiki

Thx for your answers. In the past (long time ago) I used the usemod-wiki. The only thing I was missing was a possibility for picture and file upload. (it is used in the intranet only, so no DOS protections are needed). It did not need a install at all (the whole wiki was one cgi-perl script). Backup was quite simple, I just send the plain files to me by mail and cron, so after a complete server and backup failure (gosh!), my wiki was one of the few parts that survived the big crash

.

A usemod wiki with good file handling would be fine. (Probably today's usemod is able to do that, I will take a look).
