Wiki is a platform allows users to collaborate on text. I’m using a lot of Wiki personally, either for personal organization / notes keeping, or for collaborate with others.
Recently I’ve come across a problem — what happen when others on your team are not so capable in IT and can’t even learn those Wiki markup? -_-
Well, after searching on the Internet for an hour, I can only find two acceptable solutions: wetpaint and zoho wiki. Despite its popularity, wetpaint is really not a good solution since the advertisement and the layout make it really difficult to navigate and read (most of the non-tech people I know say Wetpaint is as confusing as media wiki), and the WYSIWYG editor is very buggy in my experience; Zoho Wiki is great for non-tech people, clear user interface and easy to use, looks perfect but I’m not happy with not able to backup and control the data.
So, any recommendation?

I think that wikiwig would be good if someone would pick the project back up. I’ll keep waiting.

Thanks! It seems Wikiwig will be a good solution.
Meanwhile, I had tried to use Springnote (http://www.springnote.com/en) , a WYSIWYG wiki from Korea, it worth a try for those who have the same problem as I have….
I had also tried to use FCKEditor + mediawiki in one of my project. (http://mediawiki.fckeditor.net/index.php/Main_Page)
FCKEditor is nice in a way that the editor output Wikitext instead of HTML, so maybe worth a try too.
