Thanks for the suggestions, they look interesting. Moinmo I did see when looking for wikis, but I hadn't considered asp.NET solutions, I always forget that mono can usually run them.<br><br>Cheers,<br> Chris<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Wordpress uses a seperate clunky cms editor off screen, not so good<br>
for documentation and painfully slow requiring mysql.<br>
<br>
I would stick with a wiki like you first suggested as I don't<br>
believe they're visually unappealing if you play with the stylesheet.<br>
If you make a nice banner at the top of the page they can look quite nice.<br>
<br>
The best I've used are faster and easier to understand than docuwiki<br>
and don't need a database, although dokuwiki is not a bad one as far<br>
as php goes as it doesn't need a database and I actually like databases!<br>
It looks awful so I understand your issue there.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://moinmo.in/" target="_blank">http://moinmo.in/</a> python powered, there's a plugin to export<br>
<br>
whole wiki as pdf, very few wikis will do this out of the box.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.screwturn.eu" target="_blank">http://www.screwturn.eu</a> highly recommended functionality written in c#/<a href="http://asp.net" target="_blank">asp.net</a><br>
generally IIS/windows only but can be got to run on linux/mono<br>
but no pdf export unless you wrote one, nice editor.<br>

Aha!<br>
<br>
True enough that. Thanks for the suggestion, I hadn't considered it (doh)!<br>
