Examples needed for open-source forums, blogs, wikis.

Question

Hello,

we are a small company developing a browser game. As planned we need a forum, wiki and a blog. The initial idea was to code everything by ourselves but time is short as always and we need to cut some corners. What we need is simple applications that have the general functionality. If you have used/developed something like that and it is free for use, we would appreciate sharing the source code(link).

Edit: Clearly it is not the place to ask such a question. I just wanted some examples that you have used and liked, google can find a lot of stuff but cannot evaluate it for me. Thank you anyway.

Answer 4

Wordpress is of course the most common blogging structure, I use it and they have a very good codex wiki to help out if you have questions. They also have a ton of plugins that can be added (from SEO to paging your blogs). The CSS and HTML is very easily modified. I, personally, use WordPress and it's pretty straight forward. My website. All of the websites I maintain use WordPress for their blogging structure.

bbPress is a solution to your forums. I don't know much about it, but it is from the same brain that co-founded WordPress. I expect that it would be as easy as Wordpress.

Of course ning is a solution if you want a community (not free). Just some options.
