Re: [OT] SharePoint vs Wiki

Screwturn wiki is very easy to setup and runs on top of asp.net
http://www.screwturn.eu

I understand SharePoint (MOSS) has a wiki module, but SharePoint
provides more than wiki, including search, document storage, versioning
etc.  If you are using Sharepoint remember there is Windows Sharepoint
Services which is free, then there is MOSS (many more features thatn
WSS) which costs money.

Like you said, depending on your needs a content portal like SharePoint
may be overkill for your requirements.  We successfully use a wiki to
maintain developer notes and linkages to our source control system so a
wiki suits our needs perfectly.  I think we had screwturn up and running
in about 5 minutes.

Other options I can think of that I know are decent:
* Trac (Python/LAMP)
* FlexWiki (ASP.NET)
* DekiWiki (Mono/PHP)
* MediaWiki (LAMP)

    This is a kinda off topic question but it is development related.
I'm looking to put together an information "information repository" for
one of my dev teams.  I'm thinking about it being a wiki type thing.
Different people can update the different items inside this said
repository that the rest of the group can view without a fuss (meaning
no additional software installation required, viewing via a browser
would be ideal).  During one of our meetings the idea of a SharePoint
server came up but since I'm not all that familiar with it I don't know
if it would satisfy my requirements.  I did a little reading up on
SharePoint and I think it might be an overkill for our use.  If someone
is using something similar with their team are they using SharePoint ?
If not what kind of wiki engine would you recommend ?
I'm looking for something that is preferably ASP.NET.  Thanks...
