I like and use twiki http://www.twiki.org/ (and there is a nice wiki-feature comparison link on that page) but I don't think it has been packaged for fedora. You don't need to be programmer to install it but it helps to know your way around apache. An easy way to try it out would be to download the free VMWare server from http://www.vmware.com and the twiki appliance image from the huge list at http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/ -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
