We use dokuwiki in EGS as well and it is a reasonably good product - I
was stumped a little to start with on the wiki (on PHP WM not dokuwiki)
- the error message for not being able to post is a bit retarded:

Editing not allowed: user, ip, network may be blocked or your ip is
listed on a DNSBL.

Contact the wiki administrator for more information.

isn't that helpul - changing it to please click on preferences and add a
username may be more helpful if staying with the current software.

I'm not hugely bothered that its written in pearl - but it does have a
certain likeness to say Ubuntu running their webservers on IIS. What
does it say about PHP WM - hey we think PHP is great - but Pearl is
better for wikis!

I am in no way trying to be inflammatory with this, I am happy enough to
stay with it - perhaps we could move the current wiki to
oldwiki.phpwm.org and have a group effort to move stuff over so that one
person (Dave) isn't responsible for all of it.

Cheers

Jake
