ikiwiki is a free, open source wiki application, designed by Joey Hess. It is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later.[3] ikiwiki is written in Perl, although external plugins can be implemented in any language.[4]
Unlike conventional wiki software, ikiwiki stores its pages in a standard version control system[5] such as Git or Subversion or 6+ others.[6]
Contents |
ikiwiki supports several lightweight markup languages, including Markdown, Creole,[7] reStructuredText and Textile.[5] In the simplest case it can function as an off-line static web site generator, but it can use cgi to function as a normal web-interfaced wiki as well. Login via OpenID is supported.
ikiwiki is included in various Linux distributions, including Debian.[8]
Although wikis and bug tracking systems are conventionally viewed as distinct types of software, Ikiwiki can also be used as a (possibly-distributed) bug tracking system; however, "Ikiwiki has little structured data except for page filenames and tags," so its query functionality is not as advanced or as user-friendly as some other, non-distributed bug trackers such as Bugzilla.[9]
