The definition of a differential structure by means of a maximal atlas is the one I learned first. I recall some other definition, as a sheaf cohomology H1 class; with respect to some sheaf built from diffeomorphisms. This does seem to have advantages - perhaps I'm wrong. Anyway, I'd quite like to see this idea in Wikipedia.
