Why another Wiki?
I was looking for a PHP or Perl based Wiki that matched my needs. »UseMod is very close - I like it! But I don't like the idea of more than 4.000 lines of Perl code in one single file being loaded on every CGI call. I did not want to use a database backed Wiki. Other flat file Wikis weren't documented or stuck at some beta version. Well, I had to write my own Wiki!
Here is the result: A PHP powered Wiki using flat files as data storage, built to run on cheap web packages.

It will run on that XP box at work when you can't get an additional box and although it isn't very robust (things like nestlested lists weren't in the featureset last time I used it) it is compact and quite usable. I last had it on a standalone 233mhz Cyrix box for a project at home running SME Server. As a benefit, when the hard drive died on my workstation, I had a lot of information out on the wiki island.

I'd want something bigger for company use, but for one guy it's the one I load up.
