===What is Instiki?
Admitted, it's YetAnotherWikiClone, but with a strong focus on simplicity of installation and running:
Step 1. Download
Step 2. Run "instiki"
Step 3. Chuckle... "There's no step three!" (TM)
You're now running a perfectly suitable wiki on port 2500 that'll present you with one-step setup, followed by a textarea for the home page on http://localhost:2500.
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.
===Features:
- Regular expression search: Find deep stuff really fast
- Revisions: Follow the changes on every page from birth. Rollback to an earlier rev
- Export to HTML or markup in a zip: Take the entire wiki with you home or for reference
- RSS feeds to track recently revised pages
- Multiple webs: Create separate wikis with their own namespace
- Password-protected webs: Keep it private
- Authors: Each revision is associated with an author, so you can see who changed what
- Reference tracker: Which other pages are pointing to the current?
- Speed: Using Madelein for persistence (all pages are in memory)
- Three markup choices: Textile (default / RedCloth), Markdown (BlueCloth), and RDoc
- Embedded webserver: Through WEBrick
- Internationalization: Wiki words in any latin, greek, cyrillian, or armenian characters
- Color diffs: Track changes through revisions
===Missing:
- File attachments
===Install from gem:
- Install rubygems
- Run "gem install instiki"
- Change to a directory where you want Instiki to keep its data files (for example, ~/instiki/)
- Run "instiki" - this will create a "storage" directory (for example, ~/instiki/storage), and start a new Wiki service
Make sure that you always launch Instiki from the same working directory, or specify the storage directory in runtime parameters, such as:
instiki --storage ~/instiki/storage
===Command-line options:
