DokuWiki is wiki software... DokuWiki is licensed under GPL 2 and written in the programming language PHP. It works on plain text files and thus needs no database. Its syntax is similar to the one used by MediaWiki and makes sure the data files remain readable outside the wiki.

JfAyel Point of view

- Christoph Stehly and JfAyel, met Andreas Gohr at Furtwangen, Germany, during the 2009 Regiowiki Barcamp.

- Andreas Gohr is the creator of Dokuwiki, you can meet him at http://www.splitbrain.org/personal

- He is a very nice person, an open minded guy, a true 2.0 man...

• We currently use and recommend DokuWiki as the first wiki step, when it is not yet the right time to use all the power of Mediawiki. We do setup, hosting and servicing of DokuWiki as well as of Mediawiki.

- Andreas Gohr

DokuWiki syntax is similar to Mediawiki but not exactly the same... which would have been great...

• Some main differences are

- bold which comes with **, italic

- lists

- internet piped links, image links

- ...

The 2009 regiowiki barcamp has been a very untertaining meeting about Local Wikis, Semantic wikis, Creative Commons, Government 2.0... with the participation of Wikipedia, Wikihow, ... and many more staff and stuff...
