Is there wiki software that does concurrent page editing like Google Docs? Open source or commercial.

Google Docs allow two people to edit a document at the same time. Is there wiki software that does the same thing? I haven't seen any. Section editing (ala MediaWiki) is an imperfect but acceptable alternative. Other than Mediawiki I haven't seen any other ones that do section editing. Thanks in advance.

There are lots of them: they started long before Google docs or the more recent Google sites (from a wiki company they bought)

- Mediawiki is the engine behind Wikimedia, but also http://www.wikimedia.org or http://www.aboutus.org
- One of the best comparison table is the one at http://www.wikimatrix.org/
- There are also lots of wikis listed in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_software the table covers open source, free and commercial programs.
I have personally used some of them: phpwiki, MidTouch Deki, DokuWiki, Mediawiki...
Out of these, I would distinguish 2 of them:
- Dokuwiki has the uncommon feature of relying on plaintext files rather than a database
- MindTouch (commercial and free) is highly powerful BUT needs C# which forces to have either a Windows-hosted web server or a dedicated Linux system with Mono
I have good experiences with all of them. If you want to smart small, phpwiki and dokuwiki are thous I would personally recommend... but I do not claim these to be the best!

I know two wiki softwares TikiWiki (Tiki) Groupware/CMS (Content Management System) and PHPWiki both are free to download I am not sure if they are open source. Please check them if they suit you.
