This page lists a number of resources for Wiki engines that I've compiled over the years.
If you've come across this page during your personal quest for a Wiki, WikiMatrix has a very impressive set of comparison tables spanning dozens of Wiki engines, matching them on a feature-by-feature basis.
Wiki engines I've looked at myself, grouped by programming language and somewhat sorted by update time (most recent at top):
Quick Hacks:
A Makefile to be used in .git/post-{commit.update}, taken from here.
RSTOPTS=--time --link-stylesheet --stylesheet=style.css SOURCES=$(wildcard *.rst) HTML=$(foreach file,$(SOURCES),_build/$(basename $(file)).html) all: html _build/%.html: %.rst rst2html.py $(RSTOPTS) $^ > $@ html: $(HTML) clean: rm -f $(HTML)
JavaScript:
- TiddlyWiki - a fascinating JavaScript-based micro-Wiki (recently updated) that has spawned:
- HailiWiki, a nice Tiddly variation
- TiddlyWikiRemote - with a PHP 5 server-side and RSS storage.
- GTDTiddlyWiki - an utterly brilliant adaptation of Tiddly for GTD.
- TiddlyTagWiki - a tag-oriented version.
Ruby:
- TeePee, a Wiki done in Camping.
- Pandora is a Wiki-like document-oriented CMS
- Instiki, a Ruby-based Wiki that uses Textile and Markdown markup.
- Pimki, an extended version with Bliki/PIM features.
- Riki, a Rails-based engine that you can add to an existing Rails application.
- LesserWiki - a TiddlyWiki with a Rails server-side.
Python:
- HeyHeyWickie, another minimalist approach
- Leonardo, a weblog/wiki engine.
- pwyky
- Pyle, a Python-based Wiki with a CVS backend.
- WikiLite - WyPy glued to the BaseHTTPServer class
- WebWare Wiki, part of WebWare for Python
- Jot
- MoinMoin
- Zwiki, which happens to have a Cocoa front-end called PersonalWiki
PHP:
- Wikka slipped through my radar somehow (it's a WakkaWiki fork), and there's an installation guide available for Mac OS X.
- WysiwygWiki - based on Tavi, includes an htmlArea control for WYSIWYG editing, just like I am planning to do.
- DocuWiki - light, flat-file based, has TOCs. Recommended.
- PmWiki - flat-file based
- coWiki - very neat PHP5 Wiki
- MediaWiki
- ErfurtWiki
- Tiki
- Wiki!
- WakkaWiki
Perl:
C:
Miscellaneous:
- PBwiki - free, public Wiki service.
