WikkaWiki

WikkaWiki is a lightweight WikiSoftware written in PHP, which uses MySQL to store pages. WikkaWiki is a fork (software) of WakkaWiki, to which a number of new features have been added. It is designed for speed, extensibility, and security. Released under the GPL license.

==History== In 2003, the development of WakkaWiki came abruptly to an end, although a large community of users and contributors was still actively posting bugfixes, extensions and new functionalities. First released in May 2004, WikkaWiki rapidly grew into a project aiming to remain faithful to Wakka s heritage of a lightweight engine with readable and accessible code .

=Wikka vision=

WikkaWiki s flexibility and easy adaptability to the user s needs - including the nonprofessional developer s - are among the most prominent and appreciated features of this engine. Compared to heavier WikiSoftware, which integrate several built-in functions, WikkaWiki s goal is to keep its core as small as possible while developing an architecture that supports easy extensibility through plugin modules. The latest version (1.1.6.0) was released on January 24, 2005.

=Wikka features=

Among the distinctive features of this wiki engine, it is worth mentioning the following:
