I've been looking at using this in my not-for-profit. Do you give everyone a login to edit/add content?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to not have everything public but let my volunteers access info without needing an account

I've been looking at making an internal wiki for my company and I think soon I'm going to try out getoutline.com, selfhosted

Many of my customers use Confluence.

If you have enterprisey requirements (SSO, user groups and permissions, needs to work well Microsoft Office files, integrations in general) it's pretty decent and certainly not as bad as its reputation.

I get the feeling confluence is as good as the effort you put in. For the love of God tag your pages or don't complain when nobody knows they exist.

Our wiki is a static site generated with the MkDocs tool (Material theme), auto-published on our internal web server through a dumb CI pipeline (a PHP webhook building the website).

Xwiki - it allows fine grained access control to pages. Design is clean, it's much lighter weight than confluence (which it replaces) and the search is also better than confluence.

My own, PhpWiki, heavily customized and integrated with a search engine. Confluence or SharePoint are horrible, MediaWiki is lame. DokuWiki is nice. But most important is the content, not the platform.

I like DokuWiki. I use it for personal projects but I couldn't picture it being used as an enterprise tool.
