Ask HN: Confluence alternative for internal documentation

[elnado]

My team/company uses Confluence for all of our internal documentation and I personally can't stand it. It's hard to navigate and create directories/documents, it has a painful text editing interface, and I personally never figured out how to effectively organize your personal pages. What are some of the other alternatives people use and how well have they worked out for your team?

Thanks!

Any type of wiki engine? There are plenty, DokuWiki, MediaWiki, MoinMoin, TWiki, ikiwiki, Trac has one integrated... There is a whole page on Wikipedia that lists only wiki engines.

Technical or non technical?

For technical I'd say markdown files in a git repo. I'm yet to find a non-aggravating non-technical one, confluence is about the best I've tried.
