Are you shopping for a wiki? Many of you will wind up using one of the more popular applications. But if you aren't sure where to begin your search, or if you want to do an extensive comparison of what's available, visit WikiMatrix. Currently, the site lists more than 70 wikis with well over 100 points of comparison (all explained on the site) in categories like data storage, security, special features, and statistics. Need more help than that? Use the wizard that matches your needs with software features. WikiMatrix offers guidelines for creating a wiki (have a reason, develop content, find contributors) to get you started. Once you are more comfortable with the whole project, you may want to ask for advice or discuss software in the online forums.
