Wiki Engine Review Wiki Lists
Starting a list for use with the WikiEngineReview of all WikiEngines, WikiFarms, and WikiForums (and the WikiEngine they use) that I can find.
I will start with any lists I can find, which include:
- WikiEngines
- WikiFarm (apparently to be moved to WikiFarms)
- http://c2.com/w4/wikibase/wiki.cgi?LongListOfWikiClones (looks like useful information -- I wish I had found it earlier)
- http://twiki.sourceforge.net/pub/Codev/WikiClonesDirectory/WikiClonesDirectory.html This link is broken -- 2002-07-10 (looks like useful information - I wish I had found it earlier)
--gone to read--
My intent is to maintain the lists in alphabetic order.
The reason is that I am overwhelmed with WikiEngines.

Of interest to me is how each of these wikis stores its pages. I like having the pages in plain text so that I can port between wikis if need be (I like trying different wikis :-). Is it worth attempting to produce a list of wikis whose pages can be exchanged between them? -- ChanningWalton
See WikiFarms, WikiForums, OneBigWiki
Is http://wiki.cs.uiuc.edu a WikiFarm? There are a bunch of wikis there, but only the administrator can set up a new one. (Aside: It uses WikiWorks 0.6)
