Recently, I needed to do some documentation, which I wanted to make it easy for others to collaborate on, and decided to try and give wiki a try again. Steeling my resolve, I did some googling and ended up with Wikka. Installation was a breeze, just an upload and a table away. Literally, within minutes, I was playing around with the thing. A few minutes later, I was experimenting with the code repository. Those were pretty easy too (though why no one uses the file-name option for the code block I don't understand).
I experimented with a few other wikis, but I kept coming back to wikka. It may not have the maturity of, say, mediawiki. But wikka has some serious strengths. Easy to install. A small core (which makes for a quick upload). It's small and user-friendly enough to easily plunk on a webhost.
And that documentation project exploded to six wikkas installed on my webhost, hundreds of pages, including a trunk install, in less than a week.
I'd say it's good stuff.
