Several people have mentioned adding a Wiki to the site. However I have no knowledge or experience of wikis so I'm after some idea of what software is considered to be the best and easiest to maintain and use.

If you would like to suggest something then do it in this thread and once there are more than a couple of suggestions (assuming I get any) I will turn this into a poll.

There are a couple of caveats. I would like it to be php based, and not require v5, and if it uses a database then it should support mysql. other than that I'm fairly flexible.

Thanks in advance

Hi Phil,
The most likely here and you can find out how to integrate it with phpbb here
Uses php and mysql.

Regards,
Corey

Thanks Corey. I've downloaded it and tried an install. Unfortunately it barfs when creating the db as it doesn't want to use partial blob columns as a key.

The full results are
* PHP 4.3.11 installed
* PHP server API is apache2handler; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title)
* Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
* PHP's memory_limit is 16M. If this is too low, installation may fail! Attempting to raise limit to 20M... ok.
* Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
* Neither Turck MMCache nor eAccelerator are installed, can't use object caching functions
* Found GNU diff3: /usr/bin/diff3.
* Found ImageMagick: /usr/bin/convert; image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads.
* Found GD graphics library built-in.
* Installation directory: /home/zoneminder/htdocs/mediawiki-1.6.3
* Script URI path: /wiki
* Environment checked. You can install MediaWiki.

Generating configuration file...
* Database type: mysql
* PHP is linked with old MySQL client libraries. If you are using a MySQL 4.1 server and have problems connecting to the database, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html for help.
* Attempting to connect to database server as wikiuser...success.
* Connected to 4.0.12-log
* Database wiki_zoneminder exists
* There are already MediaWiki tables in this database. Checking if updates are needed...

but I've not found anyone else on Google with the same issue. Which is just par for the course today :(
