Ultra-minimalistic wiki written in KSH (Korn Shell). Very small, just a single CGI script. All the content of the wiki is stored in a mercurial repository, each article is saved in a separated file. It is so simple that it doesn't have any user management (KISS philosophy).
Just copy wi.ksh to your CGIs directory. You also need to create a Mercurial
repository with read/write permission for the CGI script. Copy wi.css to the
repository.
Look at the top of the CGI to customize the two variables with the location of the wiki repository and the CGI URL path (they are used from the root of the URL web server).
Apart from the CGI functionality, you can run the next command to create a static version of the content:
wi.ksh --generate-static
This is useful for a cron job to replicate statically the content of the wiki every day.
It's highly recommended to run the CGI as a dedicated user for such task, as the shell script CGIs are always in danger of exploitation.
If you find unpleasant the idea of a public wiki with no user management, just put the wiki in some hidden place and show to the public the static version.
Note: the Undo button is just a rollback on the Mercurial repository.
Version 1.0 finished.
The program is under the GPLv3.
