[oats-sig] Accessible wiki

This is really a FAQ but does anyone have strong opinion about the

Unsure about accessibility features but I would recommend MediaWiki with
FCKeditor plugin for wysiwyg editing.

We've used Twiki as a proof of concept a few years ago in the company I work
for.

When it came to actual deployment we went with MediaWiki as it was the only
one we managed to integrate with Active Directory - it also had a better
reputation in terms of scalability and bug-fixes release cycle (wikipedia
using it and all ..)

One thing MediaWiki really lacks out of the box is wysiwyg editing.
There is a commercial product based MediaWiki from www.socialtext.com which
does it and more.

FCKeditor MediaWiki plugin appears to be working reasonably well (haven't
used it before)

Then there is also wikiwig.sourceforge.net - but I don't think it's based on
mediawiki
