Introducing Wikka Wiki
Wikka is a lightweight and standards-compliant Wiki engine.
- Written in PHP, it uses MySQL to store pages.
- Forked from Wakka Wiki, to which several new features have been added.
- Designed for speed, fine-grained access control, extensibility, and security.
- Released under the GPL license.
History
In 2003, the development of Wakka Wiki 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, Wikka rapidly grew into a project aiming to remain faithful to Wakka's heritage of a lightweight engine with readable and accessible code.
Wikka vision
Wikka'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 wiki engines, 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 (1.1.6.3) has been released on May 7, 2007. It addresses an important number of security issues.
Wikka features
Among the distinctive features of Wikka: 
- Support for different types of embedded elements:
- images;
- Flash;
- tabular data;
- safe HTML code;
- RSS feeds;
- i-frames;
- mindmaps, through built-in support for FreeMind data;
- Advanced (but optional) access control, with user registration, password management and provision for user profiles, as well as access control lists on a per-page basis.
- Advanced syntax highlighting using GeSHi:
- support for 68 markup/programming languages;
- easily customizable output;
- (optional) line numbering;
- clickable markup pointers to official documentation;
- on-the-fly downloading of embedded code blocks;
- Several page-related features, including:
- full revision control;
- comments, categories;
- text searching;
- page cloning;
- advanced referrer management;
- file uploading/downloading interface;
- a GUI page editor.
- W3C compliant XHTML 1.0 transitional and CSS.
- CSS-defined printable view.
- Advanced tools for publishing page revisions, including:
- RSS feeds for recent modifications and page revisions, with feed autodiscovery support;
- WikiPing client functionality, allowing page changes to be broadcast and tracked on a remote WikiPing server.
- SmartTitle function, generating human- and search-engine friendly page titles.
- A web-based wizard to install the package and to upgrade from WakkaWiki.
- A large repository of user-contributed plugins.
Development
Forthcoming releases will (possibly) include:
- Antispam and security modules.
- Site- and user-administration tools.
- Enhanced configurability (e.g., user selectable/editable skins and menus).
- API for syndicating content from remote wikis.
- Google Maps support.
Documentation
The Wikka Docs server provides extensive end-user documentation, as well as guidelines and tutorials for prospective developers and code contributors.
