Wiki setup using existing website users DB

Hi everyone.

I need to install a PHP5 Wiki system. I found WikkaWiki very confortable and lightweight. The problem is that I want to use my website's users DB table also for Wiki logins. Not directly, it will be ok also by "importing" or "copying" it. I want my users have not to do another registration process.

The problem with WikkaWiki is that usernames must be in a particular CamelCase form (alphanumeric with two uppercase chars minimum). This is a limitation imposed by the particular page links system inside the wiki, I cannot change it.

Do you know some other Wiki scripts that doesn't have these limitations? And easily integrable with a pre-existing usernames / passwords list?

Thank you, and sorry for my english.

Lorenzo.

I've only had experience with mediaWiki and I've never tried importing in a users list before, sorry. Why not just convert your existing username list to camelcase?
