[osflash] [OT] Suggestions for a wiki system?

[Aaron Silvers]

That's MediaWiki... and that was going to be my suggestion, based on the
requirements:

- authentication [yes]
- incorporated blog system (for multiple authenticated users) [no, but
that's going to be hard to find -- that said, there's a "blog" extension
available on the mediawiki.org site]
- RSS for the changes [yes]
- commenting (preferably with avatars) [commenting - yes]
- file/image uploading [yes]
- easy skinning [~yes -- it's not 8-year-old easy, but it's documented
pretty well]
- easy installation [yes]

mediawiki.org -- I've implemented it at work.
