Open Source .NET Wiki

ScrewTurn Wiki is a GPL, medium-trust-friendly open source .NET 2.0 wiki that needs just IIS and one writable folder, no SQL Server required.

I’ve been on the hunt for a good .NET wiki that was open source and I think I’ve finally found one. The folks over at ScrewTurn Software have developed ScrewTurn Wiki.

Its GPL’d, built on .NET 2.0, does not require SQL Server 2005, works in a medium trust enviroment (that means that you hosted types can use it!) and has many other features which are listed here. The only two things that you’ll need are:

  1. IIS5 (or better) with .NET 2.0 installed.
  2. One write enabled directory in the root of the wiki

If you need to see it in action, check out the .NET Tiers website. The guys over at .NET Tiers are also using this for their site.

This is definately something that can come in handy in the corporate world when you don’t have something like SharePoint installed (which offers built in Wiki support).
