gollark: On the PHP thing, popular does not mean or imply good.
gollark: Also, I like DokuWiki as config is simple, it doesn't try to do too much, and it has good plugins.
gollark: Go bad. Never use Go.
gollark: Minoteaur is going to be production ready some time after the heat death of the universe.
gollark: DokuWiki is a PHP application, sadly, but probably the best for my intended use.
