   Hi folks,

   As far as i read, there are two plugins for building wiki on WP.
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wikipress/
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-wiki/

   I'm wondering if anyone is using them? What are the advantages and disadvantages over mediawiki? If you could make a choice again, would you still go for wikipress or wp wiki?

   I setup WordPress-Wiki on ReptiWiki.com and really like it. It is much more esthetically pleasing in the backend then MediaWiki and I think much easier to use for those not technology-inclined.

   Downside is, I wasn't aware that WordPress-Wiki wouldn't work with 2.8 and just upgraded the site...So now the stinkin' thing doesn't work!

   Thanks.

   I've registered an account there and wondering:
   1. where to make a new post?
   2. can i users add their own category?
   3. is it possible to change the theme for dashboard? It seems too complicated for average users.

   Btw, the ISP you're using seems extremely slow....

   I can't answer any of those questions because now it doesn't work with 2.8.2 as I said.

   Thanks triplemoons.

   Having tried wordpress wiki, wikipress and dashboard-tiddly, I think i'll go back to mediawiki for building up a wiki site.

   its drawback is very heavy loading and resource hungry, but its features are known to many potential users. It takes time to learn a whole new system.

   And i've just tried to modify a skin (theme) for mediawiki. It's not as difficult as imagined. Some php and css knowledge is good enough.
