    Does anyone here have experience with Wikis and/or intranet sites? I'm trying to plot out the project plan to migrate to a Wiki system for our intranet. Any recommendations are appreciated

    I like and have used pmwiki. Simple install and has lots of good mods & is continually updated for bugs, etc.

    Are there plugins available for it? Can content areas be password protected?

    Have a look at this page: http://www.wikimatrix.org/

    It lists all the major wiki scripts with their features and lets you compare them.

    Thanks for the link, that's a great resource

    Plone isn't on that list. Anyone used Plone?

    I'm a little worried about this statement on MediaWiki's webiste:
    While versatile, MediaWiki isn't suited to all purposes. In particular, users should remember that it is designed to allow open-editing, and doesn't provide very complex per-page access restrictions. Users seeking such functionality ought to consider using software dedicated to that purpose, such as document or content management software.

    I'm wondering if Plone would be the better choice

    They're both free...why not install them and see if they meet your needs?

    Because I really don't want to waste implementation time, I'd like to determine the best solution in the planning phase (now)

    im sure ive seen a mod for media-wiki where you can set access to just registered users (it might even be in options somewhere).

    you can also set access on a page to page basis

    Mediawiki is the best choice and just check ocportal.com for more options with wiki

    ocportal appears to be a paid service, and I'm truly looking for open source

    The idea behind a wiki is that anyone can edit it. If you want user permissions and groups you will have to look at something else. Perhaps project management/ groupware. See opensourcecms.com for demos of most oss. BTW I have tried almost all the wiki software over there and mediawiki is the best IMO.
