This blog sends kudos to screwturn.eu, the creators of a .NET open source wiki implementation.

TrackerRealm has been looking for a wiki for the past year that we can use for documentation. After assessing over half a dozen versions of incomplete projects, I was getting extremely frustrated. Then while looking for a new Blog engine one day, I noticed that the Blog engine company was using screwturn for their documentation – I went whoa! – this looks like a great wiki – I wonder how much it costs. Well, the price is right.

Why do I like screwturn wiki?

1. Ease of installation – it was installed on my PC in 10 minutes. (ScrewTurn store the page data in xml files vs a database)
   
2. Ease of skinning – I created a new theme for http://wiki.jetfire.ca in 30 minutes. (I am not a themes expert)
   
3. Ease of administration – putting the admin password in the web.config makes it easy to change. Adding new accounts is trivial.
   
4. New pages easily created
   
5. Ease in tailoring the templates, e.g. header, footer, side panels, etc
   

Easy sums up what I think about our new screwturn wiki.
