I'll make that comparison... It's easy to set and just as easy as
Kwiki or pmWiki, it has many features including support for
authentication and protected wikis/subwikis, a plugin system, the code
was crufty as all get out when I looked in May 2003 but is supposedly
improving. Kwiki lacks authentication out of the box but has good code
(but no documentation for the code... philosophical reasons,
supposedly). pmWiki has authentication and somewhat granular access
control and the code is fairly nice.
