I'm in the need of a wiki, and I would prefer something that I can setup on an IIS. And as I remember it screwturn would have been fitting quite well.
What's your experience?
Any gotchas?
Is it outdated already, or would it work just fine on a Server2012?
I remember Dario Solera dropped the project in 2012 due to lack of funding. (What's he up to nowadays anyway?)

As far as I know, it's outdated, discontinued and unsupported.
And in my opinion, it wasn't very user friendly to begin with.
Just my 5 cents, for what they are worth... You asked!
On the other hand, I don't have other suggestions. But I haven't looked for any either...

I was afraid I'd get that kind of answer, kind of the reason I asked though.
I'll post a follow-up question.

Yes, and Screwturn turned up as a winner when I ran the wizard.
But I suppose I have to scrap my demand that it should be a dotnet application.

Install PHP on IIS and use MediaWiki[^]. It's the same software Wikipedia uses, so it won't go away anytime soon.
Also, make sure it's a recent version of PHP and use PHP's OPcache[^] and you'll be ok performance wise.

I wanted to use Dot.Net since I know it, but I suppose I have to scrap that demand.
Your reasoning makes sense to me.

I'm pretty sure that Good Morning Britain (a popular breakfast TV show in the UK) did not intend us to get the message from the headline given its Action Against Bullyingcampaign in its newsletter that it's OK to Beat The Bullies!

What? You mean it isn't okay to fight back and put the snots in their place? Someone needs to go back in time and inform my parents!
We should teach kids that it is okay to stand up and fight back against those trying to push them down. If you get knocked into the dirt, stand up and try again.

As escalation rather than resolution is the usual outcome of merely trading violence for violence, yes, I certainly mean that. There is nothing to suggest in the history of any conflict from playground to battleground that giving anyone their own back or inflicting physical punishments on them is a long term solution and no professionals would even so much as suggest such barbarian responses these days. There is, as they say, a simple solution to every complex problem - and it's wrong!!
In any event, bullying comes very rarely in the form of physical threat or assault any more. Bullying has reached a whole new level of sophistication in the digital age and solutions involving violence, which were never the best anyway, are now simply outdated and impotent.

On the contrary. Germany is the perfect example of a bully that's abandoned crude violence for a far more sophisticated form of intimidation. Just ask the Greeks!

That is why the world is now filled with Poo Pushers where all of men are now getting depressed and needing to go have a good talk with someone about their feelings.

Could you define what you mean by 'professional' because I hear that word used a lot when someone is trying to make a point through emotion rather than reason. Also It smells very much like 'no true Scotsman' in my opinion.
For what it's worth my opinion is that violence can take all sorts of forms whether it be physical or psychological. Sacking a person involves a certain amount of violence as it is doing to someone something they don't want done to them.
So I don't buy the physical violence being more barbaric than psychological violence argument - that is pure sophistry.
On the topic of school yard bullies - a fast appropriate response has always worked in my experience, it is the speed that counts as it conditions the bully to understand that their actions have consequences(now you have to use your intelligence to figure out what 'appropriate' means as it will vary in each situation).

No worries Guy, agree with your answer.
When just looking at the email reply wondered how you attributed any of the original quotes to me. Now seeing the post I see it was accidently replied to my repsonse and not the post you wanted.

That might explain their "success" 
They're focussing on unwanted behaviour. I'd say that the behaviour is not random.

I wasn't proposing that psychological violence is in any way less damaging than physical. Perhaps 'barbarian' was a poor choice of word at that point.
As to 'professional', I simply meant those with specialist training in the management of bullying of any sort. I think it's a more than fair representation of the consensus of opinion amongst teachers, social workers, psychologists etc. (amongst whom I have walked lest it be considered that I have no experience here) that hitting back, whether immediately or at some remove (punishments etc.) forms no part of a rational strategy for tackling bullying be it physical or psychological intimidation.
