Instiki
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
Instiki is a Wiki clone written and in Ruby by David Heinemeier Hansson. It has the particularity of being very easy to set up install, especially on Mac OS X. It accomplishes its two-step install (install Ruby, run instiki.rb) by using WEBrick, a web server, and Madeleine, a percistence layer, that ship with the standard distribution of its programming language.
It also has the seldom-seen feature of offering a choice of markup languages: Textile, Markdown and RDoc are supported. Instiki is pretty full-featured, offering revision history, RSS feeds and password protected webs, amongst others. Notable omissions are color diffs and file attachments.
Instiki is written using a Model View Controller model and its platform is a subset of the Ruby on Rails framework.
