[GRLUG] meeting June 21st at 1:00 - Linux History and Website

[Bill Littlejohn]

I've said it before, but I use DokuWiki and have been very happy with it.
I'm using it for a help wiki, but it could easily serve as a group home 
page.
And without all the fluff of a big CMS also.
Note that I am running mine in anonymous mode, and that security and 
user account are available.
Has some nice stuff like code highlighting also.
