What is Instiki?
Admitted, it’s YetAnotherWikiClone,
but
with a strong focus on simplicity of installation and running:
Step 1. Download
Step 2. Run "instiki"
Step 3. Chuckle… "There’s no step three!" (TM)
You‘re now running a perfectly suitable wiki on port 2500
that’ll present you with one-step setup, followed by a textarea for
the home page on localhost:2500.
Instiki lowers the barriers of interest for when you might consider
using a
wiki. It’s so simple to get running that you’ll find yourself
using it for anything — taking notes, brainstorming, organizing a
gathering.
Features:
Regular expression search: Find deep stuff really fast
Revisions: Follow the changes on every page from birth. Rollback
to an
earlier rev
Export to HTML or markup in a zip: Take the entire wiki with you
home or
for reference
RSS feeds to track recently revised pages
Multiple webs: Create separate wikis with their own namespace
Password-protected webs: Keep it private
Authors: Each revision is associated with an author, so you can
see who
changed what
Reference tracker: Which other pages are pointing to the current?
Speed: Using Madelein
for
persistence (all pages are in memory)
Three markup choices: Textile (default / RedCloth),
Markdown (BlueCloth), and RDoc
Embedded webserver: Through WEBrick
Internationalization: Wiki words in any latin, greek, cyrillian,
or
armenian characters
Color diffs: Track changes through revisions
Missing:
File attachments
Install from gem:
Install rubygems
Run "gem install instiki"
Change to a directory where you want Instiki to keep its data
files (for
example, ~/instiki/)
Run "instiki" - this will create a "storage" directory
(for example, ~/instiki/storage), and start a new Wiki service
Make sure that you always launch Instiki from the same working
directory,
or specify the storage directory in runtime parameters, such as:
instiki --storage ~/instiki/storage
Command-line options:
Run "instiki —help"
History:

for the change to take place.

page

Wiki.

They''re aren''t quite perfect yet as new

markup engines)
