Kwiki
Encyclopedia : K : KW : KWI : Kwiki
Kwiki is wiki software written in Perl by Ingy döt Net, and extended by many others. It was designed to be easy to install, maintain, and extend.
The most recent version of the software is built upon the Spoon architecture and Spiffy model of object orientation. It was preceded by the CGI::Kwiki module.
Features
Each feature is implemented as a plugin, and [many] additional plugins are available from CPAN. Plugins are registered under the Kwiki namespace. Aside from the general wiki features like page editing, page histories, and recent changes, Kwiki by default offers slide shows, page backups, privacy options, and blog capabilities.
Criticism
Some Kwiki users criticize it for being too elegant a programming environment, hinting at Kwiki's dependence on the as-yet nonstandard Spiffy object orientation model. In general, although the Kwiki source code is much shorter than many other wiki implementations, for some it is more difficult to interpret because of its use of nonstandard Perl idioms introduced by Spiffy. In addition, since the Kwiki developers regard comments as necessary only for those who cannot read or write code, the Kwiki source is more intimidating to some [link] [link].
Kwiki is also quite slow. Though faster under Apache 2 and/or mod_perl, it is not developed for these environments.
