- Instiki
Instiki is a Ruby-based
Wiki clone written byDavid Heinemeier Hansson . Until Version 0.11 it was maintained byAlexey Verkhovsky - currently it is maintained byMatthias Tarasiewicz . It can be used under Linux, Mac OS X or Windows. It accomplishes its two-step install (install Ruby, run instiki.rb) by usingWEBrick , a web server, and Active Record, a major component in theRuby on Rails framework. Until Instiki 0.11.0, releasedMarch 19 ,2006 , Madeleine, a persistence layer that ships with the standard distribution of Ruby, was used. TheRuby on Rails Wiki (http://rubyonrails.org) runs a modified version of instiki, called [http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/tools/i2/trunk i2] .Instiki also has the seldom-seen feature of offering a choice of markup languages: Textile,
Markdown , andRDoc are supported. Instiki is full-featured, offering revision history, RSS feeds, and password protected webs.Its persistence layer makes Instiki's install fast and easy (two steps). Yet it's very difficult to edit Instiki's persisted data compared to an SQL repository.Fact|date=July 2008
The latest Instiki version (Instiki 0.11) supports in full the Ruby on Rails structure, and also uses a RDBMS as backend data repository.
Instiki is written using a
Model View Controller model and its platform is a subset of theRuby on Rails framework.Instiki is currently undergoing a rewrite, mostly focusing on the problem of
