Instiki users - Jun 2006 - [Instiki] Newbie Question about Instiki and Ruby on Rails

The Instiki FAQ says that Instiki in *not* a rails application and  
that i2 is the rails wiki. However my Instiki site says "Powered by  
Ruby on Rails." It it helpful to study Rails documentation to better  
understand Instiki or is there a better way to go.

These days Instiki is most certainly a Rails application.  Rails  
documentation, books, tutorials, etc. are directly applicable.

Instiki used to use the ?madeleine? persistence engine.  As of the  
0.11.0 release, Instiki uses an ActiveRecord back-end, meaning that  
it is now a fairly traditional Rails application.

i2 is the engine behind http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/, and is a  
separate codebase from Instiki.  Although I note that the "i2" link  
at the bottom of those pages points to http://instiki.org/  ;-)

Thanks, John. I''ll fix the FAQ.
