[AusNOG] Wiki for network ops

[Kevin Karp]

Hi Dale

 >I'm in the process of building a new wiki as a repository for network 
ops type information (work instructions, configuration standards, site 
information, howtos, and so on). I've previously used MediaWiki and I 
guess it was "OK" but I'm interested in learning what other people are 
using for similar purposes.
A heavily modified and customised Lotus Domino (Notes) template DB 
called "Server and Network Tracking" first developed by Jeff Cook in 
2000 (jeff.cook at sysource.com)

 >LDAP auth required, being able to PDF'ify articles would be nice.
Yes to both

 > Does anything in particular stand out?
Encryption, certificate based security, usable on a stand alone laptop 
in the DC, auto-replication of changes when reconnected to network, full 
hypermedia and hyperlinking without any wiki syntax, auditable changes 
plus heaps more.

 > What are the features of your wiki software that you really like?
Longevity of usage. We have over 10 years of records (including 
auditable change management) stored in the DB.

 > Open source preferred;
Lotus Notes is not open source, but the template DB is.

 > underlying OS is Red Hat Linux.
Yes, for both server and client plus just about any other platform you 
care to name (for both).

KJK now ducks head whilst incoming decaying vegetation is hurled by 
Lotus Notes bashers!

Regards

Kevin
