From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ikiwiki is a wiki software system designed by Joey
Hess.
Design
ikiwiki compiles wiki
pages into HTML pages for
publication. Unlike conventional wiki software, it could use a standard version control system such as Subversion or Git[4]
for managing differences between versions of a wiki page. The term
"wiki compiler" was coined by ikiwiki's designer to compare the
program's function to that of make or gcc for computer software
projects.[5].
Other wiki compilers use wiki processor as term[6].
ikiwiki is implemented in Perl,
although external plugins can be implemented in any language.[7] It
supports several markup languages, including Markdown, Creole,[8] reStructuredText and Textile.[4]
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.[9]
Licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License,
version 2 or later[10],
ikiwiki is free
software.
Use as a
(possibly-distributed) bug tracker
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, its query functionality is not as
advanced or as user-friendly as some other, non-distributed bug
trackers such as BugZilla.[5]
