"but I'm wondering if there's something even simpler that they could use? " Simpler and for the end-user you have mindtouch (an open-source wiki ) and with control-version for all your files on the desktop. ( http://www.mindtouch.com/ ) As Leornard Da Vinci said "Simplicity is the ultimate inovation" Francisco Gonçalves

I have set my employer up with Deki Wiki, which is a FOSS version of their Enterprise Mindtouch Deki software.

This is built as a fork from the same codebase as mediawiki, wikipedia's software. Also, Mindtouch, or Deki or whatever, offers Enterprise features as an upgrade with hosted solutions and various support levels if they find the cost internally is growing out of control.

Also, as someone mentioned above about the power of just doing it, I was able to set it up on old hardware out of my house in order to showcase the feature set to my boss. By doing so she saw that this was something I understood, and could teach someone to manage as I had taught her how to use the majority of the admin features in an hour or so.

I guess it is called Mindtouch Core v10 now.... and they make it a bit harder to get the unlimited core features, with out the trial period sunset, of course. But, stick with MindTouch Core in the selections and you should be fine, provided you have a little know how and a can do attitude.

Good luck! And NO, I do not work for them. I like the free version of their software and found it an easy sell to the suits.

It's easy to find MindTouch source code: http://www.mindtouch.com/Download

However, you're correct about the repo. It is really hard to find. I'll get it added to: http://www.mindtouch.com/community and http://developer.mindtouch.com/

Thanks for the heads up.

Take a quick look at the people in the article:

http://www.mindtouch.com/blog/2009/10/27/most-influential-people-in-open-source/

Now take a quick look at the people on their board (scroll to bottom).

http://www.mindtouch.com/About_MindTouch
Notice any two names and pictures in common, like say the top two ranked people in the article?

Now, I guess you could think "Wow! these guys must really be a great company since they have the TOP TWO OSS influencers on their board!". A less naive person might have some other thoughts on that.

This article is little more than marketing masquerading as news. It was written by the companies sales guy. The reason why nobody has ever heard of these people is that the article isn't about actual people of influence, it's an attempt to sell a product.
