My <a href="http://kitenet.net/~joey/blog/entry/seeking_wiki/">first blog about ikiwiki</a> looked at some projects that were semi-close, and found them wanting.</p> <p>My hope was that besides being useful to all its <span class="createlink">users</span>, ikiwiki would help spread its underlying concepts. Let a thousand flowers bloom! These are some that have sprung up since. --<span class="createlink">Joey</span></p> <ul> <li><p><a href="http://gitit.johnmacfarlane.net/">Gitit</a> is a wiki backed by a git (or darcs) filestore. No static rendering here; pages are generated on the fly. It's written in Haskell and uses the amazing PanDoc to generate html from markdown or many other formats.</p></li> <li><p><a href="http://blog.zacharyvoase.com/post/246800035">Markdoc</a> statically builds a wiki from markdown source (which can be in a VCS, if you check it in). It includes a built-in webserver to ease serving the generated static html.</p></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="footer" class="pagefooter" role="contentinfo"> <div id="pageinfo"> <div class="pagedate"> Last edited <span class="date">Tue Feb 26 23:01:54 2019</span> <!-- Created <span class="date">Tue Feb 26 23:01:54 2019</span> --> </div> </div> <!-- from ikiwiki --> </div> </div> </body> </html>
