Re: WIKI documentation Software?

Mediawiki is ideal in my use. If security is a concern just front it with
oauth2 via Caddy[2] and maybe have a look at how Wikipedia self documents
infrastructure[3]

well over 10 yrs now.  At the time we started using it there weren't a lot
of Wikis out there.  MediaWiki obviously was the most popular, but it did
not provide the level of secure access that we wanted.  We didn't want
everyone to be able to edit certain pages.  It was also very easy to
integrate into CAS.  I wrote a cookbook for it years ago.  We use groups to
allow only certain people to edit certain pages.  We also restrict viewing
of some pages.  Our Security Group keeps some of their stuff restricted.  I
work for the network team and we prevent everyone but our team from editing
our pages.  They can view them, just can't mess with them.  Hope this helps
someone.
