For anyone interested in the general topic of wikis, a Foswiki community member suggested using the 
following page to compare and contrast different engines. Here, for example, are MediaWiki and 
Foswiki side-by-side:

While LibreOffice's wiki is now set up, this may become helpful in some future circumstance.

Hi Benjamin,

it seems that we have to hurry up. Things didn't stand still (although
some people might think so), and a wiki has been prepared in the
meantime. As I said yesterday, it should be available in no time - if we
"omit" the request for proper handling of languages ;-)

Thus, I'll forward your mail to the admins to make sure that they get
your statements, okay?

Forwarding from the discuss@ list to the website@ list...

I like MediaWiki and use it extensively, including as an intranet wiki
at my current workplace. I recognize it's the default choice because
that's what OOo has been using and because it is well and
widely-known. 

Also by admins :-) And by the current user base of the OOoWiki. So if we
change something, then we require really good arguments to convince
them ... it is like a migration of one major commercial office suite to
an open ... aehm ... libre one ;-)

However, it was not designed for the use-case of an intranet or
project management wiki. [...]

Foswiki: http://foswiki.org/
MoinMoin: http://moinmo.in/
DokuWiki: http://www.dokuwiki.org/
MediaWiki: http://www.mediawiki.org/

Wikipedia's list of wiki engines is here:

I tried to follow the CMS discussion today, and what me puzzles is, that
we require a wiki very soon and the time for people evaluating another
installation is also very limited, sigh. How to balance "get a good
wiki" and "get a wiki soon"?

Another thing I'd like to consider is, that we have some content that
might be migrated from the OOoWiki ... I wrote many proposals and
requirement specifications I'd like to add to LibO, too. But this is my
problem at the moment :-)

I'd like to suggest this mailing list work on the information
architecture for the forthcoming project site and wiki, in parallel to
our other threads investigating CMS and wiki platforms to build upon.

My proposal: Let's ask the others for some comments ... and maybe our
intermediate but heroic admins like Florian or Guy, or Christian will
join.

Bye,
Christoph
