Dokuwiki

Dokuwiki, http://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki, is a great open source wiki application. It's built using PHP and is great for small to medium sized workgroups.

DokuWiki is a standards compliant, simple to use Wiki, mainly aimed at creating documentation of any kind. It is targeted at developer teams, workgroups and small companies. It has a simple but powerful syntax which makes sure the datafiles remain readable outside the Wiki and eases the creation of structured texts. All data is stored in plain text files – no database is required.
