Monobook Template for DokuWiki

I really like DokuWiki, but the templates out there for it — not so much. Fortunately Terence Grant has put together a template for DokuWiki that adapts the MonoBook stylesheets from Wikipedia/Wikimedia. So your DokuWiki install looks like every other Wiki out there, which is a good thing.

I was looking for some Wiki software the other day that I could use to handle a large volume of static content I had with my old CMS that doesn’t really fit into WordPress very well. I settled on the excellent DokuWiki.

Unlike most Wiki software, DokuWiki doesn’t use a database but instead stores all data in plain ASCII files. Not sure how well that would work for very active Wiki’s, but as I’m using it as a read-only application anyway (i.e., I’m the only user allowed to make edits), its a nice, clean way for me to set up my content. And it was trivially easy to install.
