WackoWiki
WackoWiki is an small, lightweight, handy, expandable, multilingual Wiki-engine based on Wakka Wiki written in PHP, which uses MySQL to store pages. WackoWiki has an WYSIWYG-like editor, easy installer, many localizations, email notification on changes/comments, several cache levels, design themes (skins) support, XHTML compliance, page rights (ACLs) and page comments. WackoWiki is licensed under BSD.
WackoWiki developed by Russian programmers, but it is not a Russian-only engine. Right now it supports RU, EE, EN, ES, DE, FR, NL, IT, PL, PT, MD and BG languages. Creating new language scheme seems to be very easy. WackoWiki was forked from famous WakkaWiki engine in 2003 when Hendrik Mans and Carlo Zotman, original developers, abandoned it.
WackoWiki allows to use full HTML capabilities, and uses SafeHTML parser (written by same developers) to strip down all potentially dangerous content (JavaScript etc.) which may cause XSS vulnerabilities.
Developers of WackoWiki also created WikiEdit – JavaScript WYSIWYG-like editor with shortcuts and toolbar support. WikiEdit also supports autoindenting (and increments in ordered lists) – unique feature for web-based editor.
WackoWiki widely used in Russia, as wiki-engine, as lightweight CMS and (by many IT companies) as Knowledge Management System.
Lastest version is R4.2. It was released 27 march 2005.
