At the moment it supports RU, EL, EN, ES, ET, DE, DA, FR, NL, IT, PL, PT, MO, and BG languages. WackoWiki was forked from the famous
WakkaWiki engine in2003 when Hendrik Mans and Carlo Zottmann, the original developers, abandoned it.WackoWiki allows the use of full
HTML capabilities, and uses the SafeHTML parser (written by the same developers) to strip down all potentially dangerous content (JavaScript etc.), which may causeCross-site scripting vulnerabilities.Developers of WackoWiki also created WikiEdit, a JavaScript
WYSIWYG -like editor with shortcuts and toolbar support. WikiEdit also supports autoindenting (and increments in ordered lists) — a unique feature for a web-based editor.WackoWiki is widely used in
Russia as a wiki-engine, and by many IT companies as a lightweightCMS and aKnowledge Management System and shares several modules, developers, and a bugtracker with the NPJ engine.The latest version is R4.3, released on
