It's funny, Roy asked if Apple's Wiki server was portable and all the responses have been for different alternatives. How many of these alternatives can export their sites to other vendors? All, none, some?

Roy,
 
Walter is correct – vendors tend to add “enhancements” to vendor-centric solutions… which winds up locking you in a vendor eco/support system.
 
Personally, if you’re looking for an easy to deploy and quickly configurable open source Wiki – check out the various BitNami packages.

As with vendor-based solutions, if there is even a remote chance you will need to port it to another platform then better to not use the vendor-centric solution to begin with. MediaWiki and most other open source CMS systems are much more portable than the ones provided by vendors like Apple and Microsoft. Vendors tend to "enhance" the open source tools, making it more difficult to move them later (on purpose to tie you to their platform in my opinion).

Hi All:

I may be setting up a wiki for a project, and I was thinking of using the Apple Wiki Server.  However, it is possible down the line that I will have to transfer the Wiki to another site, likely non-Apple.  Does anyone have an idea or experience of how portable an Apple Wiki site is, say to MediaWiki.  If it isn't very portable, any tips on setting up MediaWiki on a Snow Leopard Server.

Thanks,

-Roy
