One thing I've found lacking, which closed-source wikis like Confluence<br>
have, is finer grained permissions over pages. Mediawiki at least<br>
has users and somewhat rough global permissions, but certainly<br>
nothing robust. The open source wikis are built for sharing information.<br>

How's Dokuwiki?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>My needs are minimal. Speed was one need. Some feeling of currency and longevity for the software and similarity to Twiki.

It can be applied on individual pages, groups of pages, or a wiki section, but not to subsections of pages. It allows namespaces, arbitrary strings that begin a page name. Documentation suggests user:%USER%* and group:%GROUP%* giving each user and group their own namespace and permissions to work with them.</div><div><br></div><div>On the file system it's all owned by the web server, of course.
