WhyOnEarth?

Can anyone tell me why there are so many wiki engines?

Specifically speaking neither socialtext nor processwiki are engines, but extremely modified products. Mediawiki has a lot of issues that made us terribly unhappy because it works on a 'storage of knowledge' basis, as opposed to processwiki, which accepts a more dynamic usage of the data. Because I am involved in some amount of Process Documentation (typically involves tracing genesis of idea, team, timelines, obstacles and various levels and stakeholder perspectives), an engine like processwiki was pretty useful.

The way I see it, even Wiki 'development' has gone into the supposedly non-techie turf. You should see the way we marauded the engine into accepting our needs. :)

Go forth and wikify. (Or, something like that)
