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/
