• Simple wikis include http://www.usemod.com, http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/, and also the very excellent MoinMoin

• More complex wikis include Twiki, Tikiwiki, and MediaWiki.

• As far as I (brendan) have seen, TWiki seems to me to be the most popular for the most groupware-type stuff, for business-like work at least. For example, http://wiki.osafoundation.org uses a heavily modified TWiki as an entire organizational/knowledge system for their work.

• A way too-big list of wikis at MeatBall:CategoryWikiEngine

• http://3d17.org/ - experimental

• http://www.groupport.org - supports document commenting through the web

7. SOFTWARE - content management systems / community sites

The category of "content management systems" is incredibly broad, basically any system that lets you publish a dynamic-ish website. This list has open-source ones geared towards creating sites with some sort of community participation... that often use the term "CMS" to describe them selves.

• OpenACS (formerly Ars Digita) - runs on the now-less-common platform of AOLServer/Tcl [as opposed to Apache/PHP or IIS/ASP or even Zope/Python]. Currently has lots of focus in the learning management space. Philip Greenspun, who wrote an influential book on web applications, was involved with Ars Digita back in the 90's.

• Drupal - seems to have a good modules system?

• CivicSpace - built off drupal for grassroots political organizing (originated as DeanSpace)

• Plone seems to be getting well-known

• Xoops

• Tiki is probably in this category too

• Phprojekt

• Postnuke [link?] .. phpnuke, and other *nuke's

• http://slashcode.com - used by slashdot.org - most well-known for its moderation system (which is now present in a number of other community/discussion systems) - focused on news and following discussions

• whatever indymedia.org uses - (It's moving to a codebase called "Mir".)

• Scoop a "collaborative media application" for news, discussion, blogs. Intended as an enhancement/replacement to Slashcode.

• there are zillions more...
