SnipSnap is a multi-purpose tool for collaborating. What attracts us to this particular Wiki implementation is the ease in which it deals with code snippets. It is also written in Java. For a couple awesome demos of how this can work in collaborative dev environments, see:
expTaskDemo_v2
SnipSnap_Project_Demo
Let's install it and run it:
u-1@srv-1 snip $ ls
snipsnap.tgz
u-1@srv-1 snip $ tar -xzf *.tgz
u-1@srv-1 snip $ ls
snipsnap-0.5.1a snipsnap.tgz
u-1@srv-1 snip $ cd *a
u-1@srv-1 snipsnap-0.5.1a $ ls
README conf lib license.txt run.bat run.sh validate.xsl
u-1@srv-1 snipsnap-0.5.1a $ ./run.sh

When we visit the above URL, we get a Database setup screen. We chose a file system database:
The next screen is the Adminstrator setup screen:
The next screen is the Basic setup screen:
We are ready to start SnipSnap:
Back on the console where this is running, you can see that the server is confibured:
created application oid: 00000000ASM6F-00000002TUPZ5-00000DRTE5RS8-1C24G48ELR857
apps = [{name=Filthiest, OID=00000000ASM6F-00000002TUPZ5-00000DRTE5RS8-1C24G48ELR857, prefix=/}]
creating administrator account and snip
loading defaults into configuration space
posting initial weblog entry
creating configuration snip 'SnipSnap/config'

Here is what this looks like when running with the info we entered above:
The logo is a bit big, but it was leftover from an image from the Chicken Cam Hall of Fame.
That was so easy!!! Impress your developers with this swell tool.
