Pm Wiki is a
Wiki Wiki Web clone developed by Patrick Michaud in the PHP scripting language. PmWiki has been primarily designed as a tool to support easy, collaborative authoring and maintenance of web sites. PmWiki is distributed under the General Public License (GPL).
Pages created in PmWiki are editable using nothing more than a standard web browser and a simple markup language. Yet through this simple interface one can easily create dynamic web sites, groupware systems, document management systems, and knowledge bases.
Features of PmWiki include (among other things):
- Easy installation, maintenance, and upgrades
- Pages can be edited by any standard web browser — just click the “Edit Page” link on any page (try it in the Wiki Sandbox)
- Simple and powerful Text Formatting Rules
- Easy to set up
- Automatic linking between pages, including Wiki Word links and free links
- Password-protect pages to restrict viewing or editing
- Ability to organize pages into Wiki Groups, with headers and access controls shared among the pages in the group
- Tracking of page revisions, with ability to easily recall and restore previous versions of a page
- Wiki Trails to easily create sequences of links throughout pages
- File uploads and attachments
- Markup includes standard (classic) wiki markup, floating images, tables, large sections of preformatted text, colored text and Wiki Styles
- Site administrators can easily add customized markup sequences
- Most Local Customizations are held in a separate configuration file
- Inter Map capabilities to provide shortcuts to other Wiki Wiki Web systems and web sites
- Electronic mail notification of changes to pages
- Modular design allows features to be easily added for custom applications
