Hi,

I'm searching for a way to store my thoughts and information useful for my work (PhD thesis) and I wanted to try out a wiki (never been working with one before).

Uniwakka Wiki (http://uniwakka.sourceforge.net/HomePage) seems quite interesting to me as it can also handle bibliographic information and LaTeX equations (both important for my work) and even export to a real LaTeX document.

However, I can't find information about how to install such a wiki on my local PC.
For trying it out I don't want to have it on a web or intranet server, but just on my PC with Windows XP SP2.

Can anybody tell me where to find a good tutorial for installing/configuring the necessary web server (Apache or is it also possible with Win XP directly?), PHP and MySQL on Windows XP to install the wiki?

I'm thankful for any hint, because I've been browsing the WWW quite a long time, but I can't find helpful information on that topic.
:-(


2nd one:
I did not find much info and discussion about Uniwakka Wiki (the Uniwakka forum on this site here is completely empty), so maybe it would be a better choice to take a wiki which is more oftenly used ...
Can you recommend me a Wiki suitable for notes in natural sciences,
- mathematical formulas (if possible with LaTeX syntax, as I'm writing my thesis with LaTeX)
- embedding graphics (jpeg, png, wmf) possible
- use the bibliographic information of BibTeX files - and cite sources imported from a bibtex file
- create LaTeX output to easily copy parts of the text in a publication

Any help is appreciated

Martin
