For the Posadis Website, I have used Dokuwiki for some time now. Dokuwiki is a Wiki especially suited for documentation, and it seems to work quite well for me. In fact, I'm planning to make the complete Posadis website Wiki-based.
In the process of doing that, I figured it would be nice if Dokuwiki used slashes in its urls. Tradionally, Wiki page names are separated by spaces, e.g. dns:dns_overview is a child page of dns, and you would get addresses like
http://www.posadis.org/dns:dns_overviewwhich is a bit stupid, because in URLs, the slash is the delimiter, so I would prefer to have URLs like:
http://www.posadis.org/dns/dns_overviewThis may be a bit of an unimportant style issue, but I patched Dokuwiki to support this anyway. It is a bit problematic, because Dokuwiki assumes the use of non-slash delimiters in several places, and I'm not sure I have replaced them all, but this patch seems to work well enough for me. If you find that things stop working after applying this patch though, contact me so I can fix it.
The new Posadis.org with the patched Dokuwiki should go live in a few days.
Update: see here for additional information.
