Hey, imagine if you could do this with your wiki: Create new RecentChanges-style pages with custom criteria. Something like:

 # Automatically generated summary of new 
 # pages whose title starts with 'blog'
 AutomaticSummary.new( wiki,
   :regexp_for_pages => /^NBlog/i,
   :max_pages_to_show => 10,
   :pagename => 'Recent Blog Entries',
   :only_new_pages => true
 )

Yeah, well, this works in Soks. I tried to hack this into Instiki and it exploded and flew outta my hands. (Bonus: there’s a gross exaggeration in this paragraph. See if you can find it!)

 gem install soks
 cd /var/www
 soks-create-wiki.rb  # runs WEBrick

You can then edit the settings of soks-wiki/start.rb to your hostname and authentication scheme. Then, run soks-wiki/start.rb and be off.
