I thought it was the annoying bear thing from Buck Rogers. But that just shows the relative difference of our ages.

Thanks for the opinion Mr Man.

I used it some years back and was less than impressed - in the end I gave up on the concept of a wiki for my website.

CUK runs vBulletin (which is not free) - there are plenty of others that are that are pretty good. I use SMF for my website, which is reasonable.

I would think that you are better off having different, good products that do what you want rather than one product that is average. I use SMF for forum and WordPress for blogging.

TikiWiki

Anybody with any experience or comment?

I was looking at Wikis, and this looked quite good on paper. The site also has a phpbb forum, but TikiWiki has its own forum as well as bug tracking and blogs and picture galleries, which could be useful, and it would be nice to integrate all these things with a single user account.

However the forum software looks pretty naff, not in the same league as phpbb (or even whatever CUK is using) at first glance, so that's put me off.

And generally speaking the whole thing is a bit clunky (the default page is broken in IE8 for starters), but then the other Wikis I've used tend to have that prehistoric user interface feel too.

The intent is that it becomes a knowledge base, with examples of how to do things and solutions to common problems etc., rather than what happens at the moment which is that useful stuff gets lost in forum posts and the same questions get asked over and over. Just like here.
