Instiki – a wiki clone so pretty and easy to set up, you’ll wonder if it’s really a wiki. Runs on Rails and focuses on portability and stability. Supports file uploads, PDF export, RSS, multiple users and password protection. Some use Instiki as a CMS (Content Management System) because of its ability to export static pages.
Instiki lowers the barriers of interest for when you might consider using a wiki. It’s so simple to get running that you’ll find yourself using it for anything — taking notes, brainstorming, organizing a gathering.
Instiki only requires a working Ruby installation (it includes all other dependencies). Any OS that can run Ruby can run Instiki – that includes Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and most known Unix flavors.
