Apple Wiki

Ah, well, I have to confess that it never really took off to the extent I hoped it would.

Colleagues continue to prefer our (now very outdated) Kerio Workspace setup, based on the excellent original (but discontinued) software by Kerio. As you know, overcoming corporate inertia is very tricky, and Kerio Workspace does work very well, so they can’t see any pronounced advantages in changing over.

I am, of course, looking for replacements for Kerio Workspace, not least for reasons of security, but it has to be something relatively friendly. Currently, my preference is for DokuWiki, which has the advantage of being very easy to manage (but not quite as user-friendly), with an outstanding search function (one of our key criteria); much better than Apple Wiki’s, in fact. But I’d love to find something friendlier (that didn’t automatically involve putting the entire wellbeing of my company in the hands of some unknown Cloud services provider).

I’ve toyed with using one of the many rather capable WordPress templates now available for collaboration, but haven’t had time to do a really thorough investigation. I know an increasing number of companies do use WordPress for intranets and extranets, and that there are templates around that support real-time collaboration. But I need to catch up with it all again - it’s a very fast-moving field.
