It is free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License. Oddmuse is based on UseModWiki version 0.92, and many patches published on the UseMod site. The programs have diverged since the fork. The creator and main developer of Oddmuse is Alex Schröder.[3]
Features
The core wiki engine consists of a single Perl script, which is intended to be kept shorter than 4,000 lines. More features can be added with modules (extensions).
Pages in an Oddmuse wiki are stored in a flat file database, i.e. ordinary files. The structure was chosen to simplify the Oddmuse architecture.
Oddmuse aims to have all the features required to run multilingual sites. It has Unicode support out-of-the-box. A module allows users to specify the language of paragraphs, and to see only the text written in the languages they understand. Also language tags are supported. There is an ongoing effort to translate Oddmuse documentation into multiple languages.
Oddmuse also functions as a content management system, with modules for calendar, comment pages and blogs.
The markup of Oddmuse wiki resembles UseMod markup. Some features can be turned off, and others added with a few modules like LaTeX support.
Oddmuse should produce valid XHTML 1.0 Strict web pages.
Oddmuse was the first wiki engine to implement page clusters. When one or more pages in a page cluster change, only the central cluster page shows up in recent changes. One can see the changes in detail in the central cluster page. Oddmuse uses Creole markup language in its syntax.[4]
