Comparing dokuwiki and mediawiki I come to the result that

mediawiki has the advantages

  • look and feel
  • known markup language
  • edit buttons are above the section to be edited

while dokuwiki has the advantages

  • ACL's allow me to keep pages invisible
  • backup is easy because it is plain files

So to get to my perfect wiki there are two basic ways:

  • use mediawiki and patch/extend it until is can do ACL's. Accept that for a backup, a script is needed.
  • use dokuwiki and patches/plugins/skins until it looks like mediawiki and uses mediawiki's markup

I want the ACL features of dokuwiki and the look-and-feel of mediawiki.
