I am working on documentation of a Research Project at my college.
I am searching for a mediawiki style content management system with good user privilege features so that the sections of wiki accessible to the wiki user will map to their privilege level.
Users who do not have an account will not be able to access the documentation. I am not sure mediawiki has that feature. Please suggest some options to select from.
DokuWiki seems pretty interesting for this purpose. Tested it myself and it is quite simple to install and manage.

You can also look for SharePoint 2010 Foundation which is free of cost

enter image description hereI was originally working toward setting up a Wordpress blog for a friend...
The requirements are that:
-they would not need to do any 'code related' or tricky admin tasks pertaining to maintaining the site.
-they would have a unique domain.
-they can sign in from anywhere and write content.
-SEO is important.
The simple UI contributor interface of WP was very appealing. Though with some research I have decided to choose a JAMstack orientated blog. And going with Netlify CMS instead of a headless WP.
There are some templates available from Netlify. I was hoping to get some advice on which template to choose. They are all fairly new to me.
But ease of use, SEO, and various pretty designs would be my main desires.
I appreciate any help. Thanks.
If you are new to JAMStack development, I suggest use Stackbit. They develop some awesome templates and take care of netlifyCMS setup, which can be quite some chores.
If you mean the Templates available here, then they are less to do with Netlify-CMS, and just what Jamstack tool you want to use.
The CMS itself looks the same for all of the templates, all they do is give you an example of how you can wire up NetlifyCMS to various popular site-generation tools.
My personal opinion would be either Next.JS or Eleventy, as they are relatively easy to use with good SEO out of the box, but your personal previous experience and preferences on which JamStack tool to use for this blog would be the defining factor.
Which is better for web content management purposed only?
The website requirements include a user discussion forum and a poll survey with a good search facility and also needs a good SEO tool. The site should also load faster and should be easy to edit contents.
I can't speak to Jahia, but dotCMS can do everything you're asking for. Below are some links that should help you self evaluate dotCMS. I also would point out that dotCMS is more of a platform (makes a great user experience platform UXP) than an off-the-shelf solution and because of this your requirements might take a little work to setup and get running. With that being said, your finished product should meet your exact needs.
Site Search (uses ElasticSearch)

I hope this helps.
Jahia should be able to handle these request. I am the opposite if Fish and have experience with jahia. Jahia does have a forum and poll component's both available as open source so you can modify the code when you require to.
What I like about jahia (among many other things) is that editing content is straight forward and very easy to for non technical persons. ofcourse it has all the permissions in place for all content so you can set it up in such a way that you don't have to be afraid that the non technical persons will mess-up a website.
Performance of Jahia, even without fancy caching proxies is very good and it can run on low resource VM's, just if you want to start small. I am using them on small Linode machines without any issues
I have not worked with Dotcms, but basic forums, polls, search, and SEO are all freely available as Jahia modules. The forums are certainly not as good as a standalone like Vanilla, but they are simple to add and administrate. Search is good and requires little configuration, and anything more than basic SEO is going to be custom work.
I am building, and will be maintaining a small site as a personal project.
I want be able to occasionally update a handful of pages, including
regular posts to a blog, and be easily able to change the design of
the site.
Ideally I'd like to be able to manage all the content including
posting blog articles through git, so I can write in pure text / HTML
as I'm used to, and avoid the need to make changes through an online
editor or admin area.
At the same time, I want to keep the coding of this as simple as
possible, such as writing an article as an html file and adding some
metadata to a separate xml file.
Wordpress, get-simple CMS, concrete5 and the many others I've looked at don't cut it.
What methods are considered best to build small sites that only a developer will maintain, and allow fast and efficient ways to control every aspect of content and metadata.
I'm more familiar with PHP but if there are big advantages to python based systems then that's cool too.
Better you have go with JOOMLA . This was best CMS and you can manage all the datas like Article, Blog Posts, etc..
This was also have user friendly administrator section. So any person including non-technical person can manage the website.

Choice is urs... All the best...
We are building a content based portal. Along with the content, we want to provide some collaborative tools- i.e. chat, forums, online directories etc
We are hoping to leverage open-source software for this, as this isn't really a differentiator and will hopefully be faster/cheaper. I am looking at light integration between the content and these (common login, ability to easily reference content in chat/ forums etc) and am flexible on features being offered- as long as the broad functionality is achieved.
We have hosted on MS Azure- what should our considerations be towards identifying the right product?
Joomla! is one option. You want to ensure that the majority or all of the tools you are looking for are openly available no your chosen platform. It is hard to make a solid recommendation without much detail on the content, but you can check it out here:
http://www.joomla.org/about-joomla.html
It is free and open source, site says
Joomla is used all over the world to power Web sites of all shapes and sizes. For example:
Corporate Web sites or portals
Corporate intranets and extranets
Disclaimer: Have never used Joomla
I would like to setup a portal for my development team to share the ideas, reports, documents, images, etc. Something similar to MS SharePoint but free/open source.
Can you please share what do you guys use for the same?
Check out DotNetNuke
Trac and MediaWiki would be my top two picks, depending on whether or not you wanted ticketing integrated. Don't forget, also, that MediaWiki has a robust plugin ecosystem, so anything you wanted to add above and beyond wiki and discussion functionality might well be available.
Redmine is another good pick - I don't love it quite as well as Trac, but it's much easier to set up on the shared host where I keep my project management tools.
