The problem with proprietary solutions is that their cost are hidden, as 
when you buy a piece of clothing made of toxics.

Proprietary solutions turns systems fragile in front of change, they 
constantly steal staff attention, and cost money. On the other hand 
libre solutions usually just work.

In fact when I left Windows I did not know a thing about libre software 
or other operating systems. It was just it was obvious that model of 
computing was going nowhere, with that amount of maintenance.


Peter Matulis:
 > Migration will probably be easier with DokuWiki

I think that it been easy to migrate is a plus, but also that we need to 
take the decision exclusively based on the quality of the platform itself.


Elizabeth K. Joseph:
 > Preferably a popular one, which is why I lean toward MediaWiki.

I believe that popularity is a warrant of it working well without much 
attendance.

On the other hand I have a good feeling about DokuWiki. Do you know some 
site that uses that one?

I will leave it till Easter ends, so we have spare time to test.
