I wasted way too much time setting up the MouseHole wiki last week. The thing is: I really wanted to use a Ruby wiki. But I wanted to run the wiki on Rubyforge’s Apache setup. I could only find WEBrick instructions for Instiki and Soks. LesserWiki would be neat, but bootstrapping all the Rails libs and running through normal CGI would be time-consuming, slow, bad.

Just to illustrate how far I went with this, I ultimately got Viki, a Japanese-born Ruby-blooded wiki, to come up okay. See? Unfortunately, I can’t decipher the docs well enough to figure out the authentication scheme and there’s alot of code in there.

I’ve concluded that the most versatile public wiki is Batsman’s. Can it be?
