Oddmuse

Oddmuse is the wiki engine running all the wikis that are editable by the public – including Emacs Wiki.

My main interests while working on Oddmuse:

Documented – it must be well documented, in multiple languages.
Simplicity – the code should not extend over 4000 lines, aiming for good feature karma
Multilingual – I want to add the features required to run a multilingual wiki
Blogging – I want the wiki to be a tool that can be used for blogging
Extensible – it should be easy to extend for programmers.
Networking – I’d like to improve networking. The main problem is that I don’t like XML and SOAP. I prefer plain text and HTTP queries.
Situational – quick to use for special purpose short-term usage

multilingual wiki

short-term usage

These days I think Oddmuse is "mission accomplished". I don't foresee new developments taking place. I've spent a while working on Oddmuse 6 in Raku, then Phoebe in Perl 5, and currently I'm working on Oddμ in Go.
