hey folks, any advice on which wiki plugin I should choose for buddypress? @boonebgorges it looks like you’re using mediawiki for cuny commons. Have you been happy with the decision to use that instead of a plugin?

thanks!

It really depends on what you want to do with the wiki. If it’s going to be a workspace for individual members or BP groups, I would recommend something like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-wiki/, or the new plugin that I’m building with @dwenaus https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs

If you want your wiki to be more along the lines of Wikipedia – a shared knowledge base, visible to all members of the site as well as the public – then MediaWiki is pretty good, but it’s a bear to integrate and keep integrated. You might accomplish something similar by setting up a blog on your MS installation as the ‘wiki blog’ and then enabling a plugin like http://wp-wiki.org/

Thanks for your input Boone. I figured that it would be a beast to maintain MediaWikis integration.

I’m intrigued by your buddypress-docs. Do you have a post on it anywhere? Will this be a replacement for BuddyPress Group Documents?
