quick rationale about why mediawiki matters
== Using it ==
I'm not going into a detailed comparison of various wikis, trying to argue which is best. But I'll point out a few reasons why you should care about MediaWiki in case you don't know. It's the most popular wiki in the world. In practical terms that means people you hire will know mediawiki.The growth is exponential. The quality is excellent.Does your wiki have conferences?Does your wiki have a foundation to keep it going? I do want to point out that MediaWiki does not use <ref>CamelCase</ref> words in order to make a link. This means a lot to all the Irish people of the world, and also the marketers who seem pretty convinced of the coolness of McWords like ThinkPad, etc.
MediaWiki syntax is easy to learn, and easy to use. In fact, you might already be using it without even knowing it.
