Confluence is my favourite wiki product, having used it for a couple of years at clients and also with the free personal version.  Although it’s a great application there is one issue, the price…  implementing it in smaller dev shops is just not viable so I have been looking around for a suitable replacement.

Xwiki caught my eye on http://www.wikimatrix.org/ and I’ve been trialling it for a week or so.  Downsides are it’s a java based solution but once you get over that it does a very good job.  Proper user, group and space funcionality complement the very impressive wysiwyg editor.  So far so good… will update how it pans out in the long term.

 If Atlassian provided a small company license that was affordable it would be good but they obviously don’t care for that market and only focus on the Entreprise users, shame.
