WIKI replacement solution for SharePoint?

Question

I'm trying to research a replacement for the pathetic WIKI that comes with WSS (only wiki code it has is to create url links).

I have looked at a few but most 'replacements' I see are MOSS only? (or so it just states MOSS for requirements).

Has anyone faced this situation? What did you end up using? I would like something that I can have all in one location (not different apps, hence WSS). With LDAP / AD Integration like WSS.

Thanks appreciate any input. I would like to see ~ $3k solutions tho (nothing super expensive, hence why we don't run MOSS).

EDIT:

Anyone else have any suggestions?

EDIT2:

Actually since I haven't had much feedback (thanks to those that have). I installed mediawiki under IIS with PHP enabled, and enabled the IIS AD hack for authentication. IIS ends up prompting for authentication (user/pass) if you use a non IE browser, then it sets the $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"] variable, and grabs some AD info (groups etc). Works rather well, only issues is the UGLY urls so far. But its fully working. Seems like a good setup. Other than having to rely on MYSQL (my company strives to be mainly SQL Server)

Answer 1

We're using Confluence after the MOSS Wiki definitely didn't meet our needs.

While it's still a Wiki and thus has some limits on its formatting etc., it's quite good, offer Office imports, Office viewers, PDF export functionality, and a whole slew of other features.

Answer 2

screwturn.eu is your friend. There are multiple ways to rig up AD support. A couple of lines of code is quicker than the hours of configuring WSS

I recommend you checkout mindtouch. It's got a lot of tricks, is free, and has a great community.
