Oh, and please look at https://www.hylo.com/ to compare for the community management side: I quote “Hylo is an open source project stewarded by Terran Collective alongside partners, contributors, and donors from around the world.
Hylo is a not-for-profit, community-led technology commons. We work with real-world groups to co-design technology solutions to their needs, and then share them with the world.“
I have no connection with Hylo beyond knowing several of the people as good colleagues from https://www.collaborative.tech/ and very much appreciating the principles they are working with.
I've done a lot of looking into Wikis. One source I keep referring back to, though it's not guaranteed to be up-to-date, is the wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_software … Google Docs has the advantage of widespread familiarity as well as great functionality, to be sure, though not everyone wants to support Google's information-sucking-to-drive-advertising paradigm. Notion is also proprietary, and I've found to be a bit offputting due to the sheer plethora of functionality. Strikes me as not really simple enough to support an open community. There are two extremely widely used open source pure wiki pieces of software: Mediawiki and Dokuwiki. Mediawiki powers Wikipedia of course. Using Mediawiki I've been working for years on the P2P Foundation wiki, https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Main_Page and just recently the Second Renaissance wiki https://wiki.secondrenaissance.net/ and through that discovered that there is free hosting available for mediawiki sites at Miraheze https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Miraheze_Meta . On the other hand, when it comes to a smaller, simpler site, I chose Dokuwiki for my own personal wiki https://wiki.simongrant.org/doku.php/here and this feels much simpler to manage than Mediawiki. Dokuwiki hosting is also very inexpensive -- see https://www.peaknetworks.com/hosting/dokuwiki-hosting for example. You're welcome to explore my own writings about wikis here https://wiki.simongrant.org/doku.php/wiki:wikis among which there is a very ambitious wish-list of how a really good distributed wiki system would operate.
