style='font-size:12.0pt'>I've asked this before without getting any echo, but
since there are some folks who have apparently switched to PmWiki from other
wiki software, I'm interested to hear what their rationale was and what they
feel about their experience since.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I ask because there are people with whom I am in contact who have made
intimations about the quality of MediaWiki. On the latter I like it a lot (per
use in Wikipedia) and don't disagree, but I also like PmWiki a lot due to its
adaptability among other things. Frankly PmWiki was easier to set up than some
others I looked into a couple of years ago, but that is probably not a factor
for people switching to it...<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
