MindTouch's Wiki isnt bad, but its nothing compared to twiki (twiki.org). Aside from the fact that it has always been OSS, it has a huge variety of plugins available to extend the already impressive functionality. I use it as an enterprise documentation and collaboration tool.It has great base functionality, a solid dev community, and enterprise class features (LDAP integration, etc).
This is pretty lame. Why are all the users who say this wiki software is "AWESOME" only ones who have no diggs or comments other than for this story and have joined today? Pretty blatant guys..
MindTouch is all about *transparency*. In fact, we?re passionate about it. This is why we are open source are have just launched, minutes ago, www.OpenGarden.org. So you can _now_ download our software and look at our bugs. Enjoy!! For full disclosure, as previously stated, MindTouch just began selling our MindTouch MOS and we have been pleasantly successful in the last three months. You can review some customers? stories here: www.mindtouch.com/stories.php. In addition to sales we have had beta customers for over a year now. When this story was dugg by one of our zealous engineers we sent out an email blast to many of our users with links to the CNET article and Digg. The majority of MindTouch?s customers are _not_ techies. However as it turns out, to my dismay, several of them created Digg accounts for the first time so they could comment on our product. It seems our users are almost as passionate (and zealous) as our employees. I?d be more than happy to provide contact info to these customers if requested offline.
