Re: wiki software

I agree with sanddrag - wikis are useful for documentation and text-based information. However, trying to translate computer code to wiki format is a recipe for problems. If you still want a wiki, I recommend MediaWiki or UseModWiki.

Re: wiki software

I went ahead with Mediawiki. If we have problems, I'll think about a CMS.

Now I am wondering if anyone knows how to protect a section of the wiki so that only certain logged in members can access it, is this even possible? If not then can I .htaccess the entire directory and require a password?

Re: wiki software

It is possible to set a MediaWiki installation to allow registered users to see pages that non-registered users cannot. I've never done this myself, but there's some information on how to do this at the following places:
