Re: let's start a new: Teeworlds Wiki
Thank you very much for your replies
It's really important to chose the most perferct wiki engine, before anything else is going to be done. Let me explain, why I'd prefer DocuWiki instead MediaWiki:
1) easy to set up and configure. If anybody doesn't agree, I will send a PM with admin login and password for the demos of MediaWiki and DocuWiki, which work for test on a free web server. You can just look at admin interface, I'm sure you will like DocuWiki much more.
2) low system requirements. It's really important too. MediaWiki is too big and demanding too powerful server, especially when there are more than 100 visitors in a moment on the website. Also, if the server will down for some reasons, it's possible to create mirror on any apache server just by copying all the files to the mirror.
3) No database. At first, I also thought that it's a disadvantage. But I read this https://www.dokuwiki.org/faq:database and now I don't see anything bad in the lack of DB. Also, I looked through the DocuWiki's users reports: DocuWiki works very fast when it stores up to 50 000 articles. Will we crapeate more than 50 000 articles? About the search: Docuwiki has indexing system, the search should be fast enough.
4) Easy implementation to anywhere, of everything, aka plugins. If you use mediawiki, you make a website, that suits mediawiki. If you make a website, DocuWiki will suit it. I mean, if anybody else will maintain our wiki in the future (teeworlds.com devs team, for example), they will be able to implement wiki to their website, for example, intergrate forum users' database as authenfication backend.
5) DocuWiki structure is easy to change, we can add sidebars that we want, any panels that we want, and we can very very easily change design stylesheet. Had anybody tryed to change design of mediawiki? I tryed, it's really difficult.
By the way, there are many free templates for DocuWiki, so we can use one of them as start base, and edit it to make something teeish
Feel free to discuss my arguments for DocuWiki, i'm still ready to change a choice.
