I've been toying with Instiki for a little bit, and I have to agree it's pretty cool. So far, I've just been jotting notes on the personal programming projects I'll get to Real Soon Now, but I like how easy it is to install ('tar xzf ...'), run ("ruby instiki.rb"), and use. Good work.
A few suggestions:
* I know it's already in your TODO, but file upload would be nice. Images, especially, really perk up a page, and I'm too lazy to copy files manually.
* Does Instiki note which editing mode was used on each page? Recently I converted from Textile to Markdown, and I had to fix up a number of pages manually. (Extra cool would be to transcode the old markup to the prevailing style when a user edits the page.)
* In earlier versions, I entered some text that the markup engine didn't like, and as a result the page became unviewable. A little tool to roll back one change at a time would be helpful (cuz' hacking the *.command_log file in vi didn't work for me ...)
* As simple as Instiki is, a little more documentation, particularly a hacking guide, would be helpful.
Maybe one of those RSN projects should be to work on a patch for one or more of the above ...
