In order for a wiki to work, there must be something beneath which does all the magic, this is a wiki engine. For more on what a wiki is, see WhatIsAWiki. This wiki is enpowered by the WikkiTikkiTavi engine, which is written in PHP and uses MySQL for storage.
On this page you will find a comparison on different Wikis: WikiEngines/ComparingWikis

Some other wiki engines can be found at:
- UseMod:RecentChanges - easy to set up, written in Perl.
- PhpWiki:RecentChanges - a rather extensive wiki server written in PHP.
- MoinMoin:RecentChanges - another popular wiki server, written in Python.
- ZWiki:RecentChanges - an interesting wiki server written in Python for Zope.
- Wakkawiki - an excellent wiki server written in PHP. Its development has been stopped, but it has several forks:
- [UniWakka] - the aim of this Wakka fork is to be a collaborative authoring tool for scientific content: supports MathML?, multi-language input, footnote, table of contents and much more.
- [WikiNi] - based upon Wakkawiki this project started as a simple translation (english/french) but is now an autonomous project
- PmWiki - easy wiki with small footprint, written in PHP. No database required.

A bit surprised that JSP wiki which is one of the better ones isn't mentioned here? AndrewCates
