just wandering
what wikis (or similar software) do *you* use? ( read / contribute content or *even* host / hack )
mostly because i just got round to
"Building a student wiki at MFF Charles University" @ https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/KLAKHV-matfyz-wiki/
but also because ... *gestures at various related (imho) things*
- in the past *our* tiny core wiki had became unmaintained / inaccessible , only offsite backups was available
( its back now ( many thanks to the current/future maintainers ) but the traumatic memories persist ;) )
- on looking up devuan's wiki https://wiki.devuan.org/?n=Main.Wiki , and reading about the "Wiki audit" sounds eerily familiar
- nixos deleted their old wiki :'( https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_Wiki:History
https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/FAQ#Why_is_there_a_new_wiki?_What_is_with_nixos.wiki
- this topic "tiny core docuwiki offline? aka local documentation for offline use 2.0" @ https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,22566.msg141377.html#msg141377
was my attempt to bring some concepts from the core-pkg philosophy ( read plain-text and script fun :D ) to the wiki
.. also related ( this html / quine / wiki https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=25278.msg161552#msg161552 requires javascript )
- also some place there is some other topic/post with a reference to the historically most popular/copied manual/documentation
perhaps someone reading lived though this part of digital history , or even a copy of the manual's in question ... and can clarify my vague perhaps wrong recollection
as well as the above it appears
many of the "big" distro's who have primarily adopted systemd
have updated their wiki's and apparently
at best deprecated and
at worst purged
historic content relating to other init systems
/rant
so to re-iterate , my question is
what wikis (or similar software) do *you* use? ( read / contribute content or *even* host / hack )
and ftr emphasis on "or similar software" ( i imagine ;) one can get far with touch , mkdir and *some kind of pager* and a few functions ! )
and *implied minimal dependencies*
thanks! for reading :D
