Corendal Wiki is the open source version of a Wiki application that is used internally by a real world company. This wiki is different from other wiki applications because it is dedicated to Corporate environments:
- the interface is very clean and simple
- no wiki syntax to learn, a WYSIWYG rich text editor is used instead
- no user management is required. The application connects in REAL TIME with Active Directory to reuse accounts AND groups. As far as I know, this is the only Wiki integrating with Active Directory groups (even recursive groups). Local groups and local accounts can also be created
- NTLM can be used to authenticate users. You can limit NTLM to ranges to IP addresses
- all articles have a hierarchy, keeping the content manageable.
- all articles have a clear and meaningful URL
- users can get notified of updates using a subscriptions mechanism. Notifications can be delivered immediately, daily or weekly
- several levels of read access settings can be selected. You can make a page readable by all, readable for a group of users, or even searchable only by a group of users
- several levels of write access settings can be selected. You can make a page freely updatable, require approval being publication, or blocked
- user proxies can be created
- full text search is available, with word suggestion for spelling errors. Sequences of words can be searched
- it works with Tomcat and MySQL, but works just as well with Oracle 10g and Oracle Application Server
- the layout can be customized (the application uses Velocity templates and CSS)
