I need to create a wiki with some specific characteristics:
- User accounts required which can have varied access (basically, view or edit)
- Has to be modifyable, since some features are needed that I can easily write, but that wouldn't generally be included
- Fairly user friendly and intuitive, especially to edit, since the guy who'll be using this isn't really a computer guy. Doesn't require really difficult code.
If nothing else, I'm going to try out mediawiki, although I'm not sure what kind of user account access it allows. I figured I'd ask here first, just in case somebody else has experience with this.
I love MediaWiki. As long as you can write PHP you should be good.
I've never tried modifying it, but it's not complicated? I've installed it and used it, and it's really nice.
I use MediaWiki as well (as a module in Joomla). It does everything you require and more.
