Been working on building a wiki over a number of months, but realize it is a ton of work. My goals are:

No Database, just files and folders for Dokuwiki

Get the experience to feel accessible and fun for users.

Make the wiki into something users can save locally and access offline.

The wiki coincides with various DIY and open source projects I'm experimenting with. Thought I'd share here, since this is about the extensions I'm actually using within Dokuwiki. Would love to add more, but just need them to work in daily use first.

Plugins in use:

SMTP, so users receive their login credentials.

Templator, for treating pages as templates for re-use.

Include plugin, for using pages within pages to organize content.

Open Document plugin - For export as odt

Pagelist, which I'm still learning for organizing tables.

Move plugin - for moving location of pages without breaking links.

Wrap plugin, for centering images and code blocks.

Tag, for adding tag browsing between page.

Footer, for clarifying info displayed at bottom of pages.

Catmenu, adds a clean, simple tree menu for the page being viewed.

Are others running Dokuwiki in production? Would much appreciate suggestions for setting up a nice wiki flow. Right now there is probably a lot of improvements to be made in terms of indexing and otherwise organizing content. I find the plain text syntax takes a while to wrap the brain around since it isn't markdown, but certainly fun to experiment with.
