Plone adds layers on top of that, trying to simplify some things.
Twiki vs mediawiki full#
Zope is a tremendous all-in-one piece of software, which incorporates a web server, an interpreters for a few template languages (DTML, TAL, METAL), own object database, full text search engine, users/groups/privileges system and a myriad of other things, most of those are overly complex. Plone is just a Zope application (well, strictly speaking, Plone is Zope) and Plone is written in Python (which I like). I mean, if you want to tweak/change something, it is quite easy. Mediawiki is written in PHP and is using MySQL, it's pretty straightforward.
And since it is used on high-profile sites like Wikipedia, it is proven to be working and it is actively maintained and developed. I had some experience with TWiki and MoinMoin before and I should say Mediawiki is one of the best wiki engines available. Still, for the wiki it is pretty pretty good. It lacks some CMS features like article status (private, visible, published, review needed etc.) and (related to the first one) an ability to publish something by the specified time (which in my case is needed for example for press releases which are scheduled by time). Mediawiki is more of a Wiki than a proper CMS. Recently I also started to use Mediawiki, at. I am using Plone as a CMS for the main OpenVZ web site,.
