Dear All,

the questionnaire did not lead me to anything useful, neither a couple of hours of Google.

We are planning to set up an on-line course material at the University for a entire new subject. There are no comprehensive textbooks yet in the country for this subject therefore this material must be written for the students quite fast and it also need to be a collaboration of many teachers of the files. With this latter I thought about going for a wiki.

What I'd need:
- open source, free
- capable of easy rendering of complex maths formulas (top priority). If it can read Tex, it's fine already
- can be customized along the lines of elearning philosophy
- no geeks around, so easy handling, installing and a visual editor for older professors
- an engine that is still being maintained

I looked at MoinMoin, but math support seems not to be working flawlessly.
Tried Dokuwiki, math plugin is not convincing, hard to configure and overall it is not elearning style.
Checked FosWiki too, again more collaboration oriented than encyclopedia-like.

Do you have better ideas than I had?

Please help, please share,

David
