I am trying to set up a special purpose wiki where only members of a special interest group can edit. I really like the MediaWiki that Wikipedia uses, and Wikipedia is an excellent example to show people how a Wiki works. Does anyone know of a Wiki Farm that uses mediaWiki?
I am not sure about what a "wiki farm" is: perhaps could you explain it? Nevertheless, C-Arbre (a GPLed project on which I am working with a friend) uses the Media Wiki engine for handling wiki (although still in a crude way) : http://www.freshmeat.net/projects/c-arbre/ It also adds permissions and ownership to the wiki pages, so that only people of a given group can edit the pages.
A wiki farm is a host for many wiki's. Sometimes they are commercial and charge a fee. An example is http://www.editme.com/. I am looking for one that hosts MediaWiki based Wikis.
I have a shared hosting website and have been unable to install MediaWiki on it. I probably could install it on a dedicated host, but that would cost $200/mo. Or I could buy a Linux based computer and use my DSL line. This would be slow, and I could not provide 24/7 support to make sure the system stayed up.
