There seem to be (at least) 2 wiki systems in use at Apache.

One is based on moin-moin (python), and is for instance, found at wiki.apache.org/incubator-yoko

Another one is based on confluence's wiki, and is found for instance, at cwiki.apache.org/geronimo/

The cwiki may have additional capabilities. For instance, some groups are using it to do collaborative authoring of documents. For this, a permissions / login restriction is needed to insure contributors have done ICLAs.

See: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CWIKI/Index

The cwiki's wiki's are autoexported to plain html, whenever edits occur,
so that high-volume serving can be done. This export facility can be used for a projects "web-site" as well; some projects are using it that way. It appears that the Geranimo project started down that path but is not currently using a wiki for their web-site maintenance (they're using XDOC / Anakia).

One other thing I've noticed is that with the confluence wiki it's possible to have comments on each page, and (optionally) show them. This might be interesting for building up community. It might also be available with the moin-moin version.

We're working on setting up the UIMA project, and I'd be interested in hearing opinions from the community about the pros/cons of the different approaches (perhaps there even are others in use at Apache?).
