also mediawiki is not the ultimate solution. the acl
capabilities are
rudimentary. its very unstructured. categories dont help. but it is
the
perfect solution for wikipedia and a lot of other sites. but it is not
perfect for manuals for software or software projects.
It is interesting to note that it is not the "default" mediawiki
that's used in wikipedia at least for one reason: the search is
actually lucene based... (at least so it was two years ago) whereas
that doesn't come out of the box at all in mediawiki.
Having now played with XWiki since a while, I dare say it's a power-
beast you can do kilometers with, far beyond what I know of MediaWiki
(i.e. I'd be programming PHP since long there to do the same). With
the large availability of further libraries in Java, I think XWiki is
the best choice if you're looking into spending time and extend it a
lot.
Maybe a few usability things are slightly more polished in MediaWiki
for its default usage... but as Ossi said, as soon as you wish a bit
more rights-management, MediaWiki is already difficult to manage
whereas XWiki starts to be the perfect toy!
