I'd like to use DokuWiki or Twiki.
What is the difference?

Who know Twiki? Dokuwiki? both?
Thank you in advance,
Mario.

If you don't know the difference, why do you want to use these particular
wikis in preference to the many others?

I know dokuwiki but my work's friend think that Twiki is more famous and
it is better... but he don't know it.
So I have to learn about both.

Thanyou for answering me.

It's kind of hard recommending one product over another without a detailled
understanding of requirements and and context (which isn't going to happen
in a newsgroup discussion). I had a brief look at these and a couple of
other wikis sometime ago, but the decision I made may not be appropriate to
what you are doing.

You have to decide whether your knowledge of Twiki is more valuable than the
functionality / reliability which might be available elsewhere - along with
the cost of acquiring skills in the other product. For what it's worth, if
someone asked me to recommend a Wiki without any contextual information I
would have pointed them towards mediaWiki. OTOH I think Twiki's
out-of-the-box structure and development APIs make it an interesting
candidate as a collaborative tool.
