I have been working on a personal project and am now asking for advice. My goal is to put a combined dictionary of my indigenous language into a new dictionary, make it owned by the native speakers, as a resource for and by the community -- and editable by the community.

I want to facilitate all of this through software libre, so I was thinking a collaborative web platform like a wiki. To promote collaboration instead of competition, and so people can immediately see themselves and the community benefit from this collaboration.

I like to keep it simple, no need for excessive features. Something that can be accessed on any phone or computing device with a web browser. It could be totally simple HTML pages with a simple username/password account with no email needed to register. And no need to know how to code.

Mediawiki is OK, but it has too much complexity and uses PHP. Same with Dokuwiki.

I like the suckless wiki concept but my community doesn't code nor use git, and this limits access from the jump. I need to make it as accessible as possible.

I'm also just generally interested if anyone knows about a PHP-free, super simple wiki that is as simple to use as it is simple in design.

But maybe I should just go with mediawiki...
