I used dokuwiki extensively over the years to manage projects, organize data, and build public web pages now and then. It’s been a pleasure to use.
Cool, would you care to share some of your favorites?
Andreas’ “gallery” plugin was a great way to share my photos. I believe I tweaked the code to read exif data from the jpegs to extract the comment/description and display it as a caption.
“Graphviz” was also wonderful for generating flowcharts and organization charts for my work.
My present website runs on dokuwiki, though it’s pretty bare bones and not doing anything fancy. Just an English-Japanese bilingual setup.

It looks fantastic! How did you get it so clean and modern? Bootstrap?
I may have just customized the starter page template and written my own css. It’s not too complicated. I like the simple wiki look more than a full featured website. Heavily inspired by the wonderful website of Inigo Quilez.
Interesting. I like rifling through someone's blog even tho may not have an immediate use for the data contained in the blog. You never know. Might stumble on something that will be useful later on.
