wiki software selection advice ?

[wbsurfver]

We have a short list of wiki software listed below that we are
evaluating. The project will also be using wordpress and there will
need to be some integration between the wiki and wordpress. It seems a
wiki that can use mysql and is also PHP based would be favorable.

I had also considered DBM/DBA which are object persistent databases,
but our team does not seem to favor that solution, though I have not
really analyzed that approach or have enough experience to feel I
understand all possible advantages or disadvantages that it might
have. I have not been able to find a DBM that works with PHP on
windows which some development will be on. It has been mentioned that
DBA is not going to cache the way a database does, although I also
heard somewhere else it would be faster and I suspect using memcache
with DBA would work, but I am not sure if there would be references
inside the objects that would cause a problem with that ?

I had looked into phpwiki, but had many problems with the install on
windows and I didn't see that it have very good wysiwyg editing.

Anyway, the short list:

mediawiki
bitweaver
jspwiki
snipsnap

pmwiki is set up to use flatfiles, so we may be dropping that,
although possibly it could be modified to work with mysql.

OK, thats pretty much all of them then. I would reckon on spending between 2
hours and 2 weeks gathering the information needed to base a recommendation
like this on, and you're trying to get it from a NNTP post which mentions
nothing about what you intend using the Wiki for.

I had also considered DBM/DBA which are object persistent databases,

Is this troll?

but our team does

Yeah - just post the question on the Usenet its a lot easier than doing any
work.

You really haven't spent a lot of time researching this have you?

There has been alot of research, but I am not a project leader on
this and do not control all aspects of the efforts.

I haven't been able to find a clear place that explains how to set up
DBA for PHP on windows. I've done it in Perl

but our team does

All I'm saying is I'm not an expert in the pros and cons of DBA/DBM,
someone here said it wouldn't be good because mysql caches itself and
DBM doesn't, but like I said I'm not in control of the decisions, I
can only try to influence it.

I have, I just like to use the term 'I'm not an expert' etc because
many people decide that something will or will not work without
knowing alot about it.
