Instiki users - Mar 2006 - [Instiki] Instiki, Instiki-AR, i2 -- concise explanation?

I''m using original Instiki for some lightweight ad-hoc projects, and
have
been very happy with it.
Can anyone provide, or point me to, a brief explanation of what Instiki-AR
and i2 are, and why they exist?
Thanks!

I followed all the instructions here http://svn.instiki.org/instiki/ 
tags/release-0.11.0/README and noticed one thing not documented and  
one issue.

The script/import_storage script is hard coded to use
''development''
and is not using the value the app is set to, be nice to make a note  
of that as i scratched my head for a moment or two.

Also once the import is done there is the slight issue that it seemed  
to wipe out the ''system password'' the system table becomes
empty and
has nothing in it :) So your kinda stuck unless you know how to use  
sqlite or can figure out how to set that password another way :)

Also the migration seems to have had issues keeping track of all my  
authors, anyone have ideas about why this is? Some are just missing  
from the generated sql.

cheers

I also spent some time struggling with the password issue...eventually
sussed it out, but not before trying every password I have ever used,
thinking I had just forgotten again :-).

One other issue, although minor: Most blank lines in the text were removed,
changing the format of pages quite a bit. Editing fixed these, but I do seem
to be seeing other issues with markup. Not sure yet.

That said, the new version is great, esp. not that I figured out how to load
graphics.

Yeah, there does seem to be some general issues with the migration. I  
hope that someone will define a base format for wiki migrations  
either just for instiki or in general for all the major wikis, that  
would be a god send.

That or instiki just got good export/import functionality on the edit  
web page.

Can anyone weight in on this?  Alexey?  Is i2 going to be maintained
going forward, or is instiki now the one to follow?

The situation with I2 is quite straightforward. It is the engine for
wiki.rubyonrails.com.

That site is working well enough. DHH, understandably, has more
important things to do. As long as it is so, I2 is not moving forward.

As for Instiki, we''ve just had a major release.
