Wiki/Collaboration software: TWiki vs. XWiki vs. MediaWiki

Question

As the title suggests, I'm interested in which of these Wikis is the best solution to use.

I'm concerned with:

• Features the page editor provides (not all users will be keen on learning new syntax);
• LDAP/AD support;
• The way privileges are set for users (or users in groups?);
• Documents and multimedia files support;
• Ease and flexibility for theming the Wiki.

All opinions are taken in consideration..

Answer 1

all these features are readily available in XWiki. I don't know enough about the other 2 wikis you cite though.

The http://xwiki.org web site provides more information. If you don't find something in the documentation you can ask on the XWiki forum/list and you'll get some fast answers: dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/MailingLists

Answer 2

If you go here http://www.wikimatrix.org/compare/MediaWiki+TWiki+XWiki you can see all the features side by side.

It answers these questions easily:

• Features the page editor provides (not all users will be keen on learning new syntax);
• LDAP/AD support;
• Ease and flexibility for theming the Wiki.

You might need to do more digging for these:

• The way privileges are set for users (or users in groups?);
• Documents and multimedia files support;
