[Discuss] Opinions needed: wiki software

[Bill Horne]

I've been asked to help improve a wiki site that is currently using 
Mediawiki, and I'm seeking
information about alternative wiki packages which might be a better 
match for the uses
that are needed.

Here are the bullet points:

  * A combination of public and private info, with about 99% of it being
    "public".
  * The group needs to be able to restrict access to the private
    material, with
    a reasonable level of security.
  * The group installed a wiki to make it easier for individual group
    members to edit
    both shared and personal pages, and switched to Mediawiki because of
    some
    undefined security concern with a different wiki package.
  * The content of the wiki changes very slowly.
  * The Mediawiki documentation specifically warns against trying to use
    it for
    both public and private pages: it's used for Wikipedia, and isn't
    geared for
    a mixed public/private site.

All suggestions welcome. Thanks for your help.

Bill
