Hi, Does anyone know of a rails wiki package? I''d like to give users the choice of using wiki markup or a subset of html, and would like to avoid reinventing the wheel (it would end up crooked anyway). cheers, Tom SW ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

I believe BlueCloth only does Markdown, whereas RedCloth does both, though last I checked RedCloth''s Markdown support was a little weak. If you want the ability to link with [[SomePage]] syntax, you''ll probably have to do it yourself.

It really depends on what you plan on doing with your wiki, more specifically, it depends on how you want to serve it up. I recently installed instiki and go it running, which basically consisted of downloading it and running one line from the command prompt. It is very simple. I wanted to go one step farther and set it up to run as a fastcgi process in apache. This is not possible currently. My next project is to run webrick behind the scenes and set up a vhost in apache to forward all traffic for that domain to my webrick server, so that i still get some of the benefits of using apache. Just though you should know what there are some limitations involved, before you get too far in. Here are some links to more information on the topic.
