  Instiki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Instiki is a Ruby-based Wiki clone written by David Heinemeier Hansson and maintained by Alexey Verkhovsky.
Until Instiki 0.11.0, released March 19, 2006, Madeleine, a persistence layer that ships with the standard distribution of Ruby, was used.
Instiki is written using a Model View Controller model and its platform is a subset of the Ruby on Rails framework.

 Use Instiki for almost everything on 43 Things
Instiki is a wonderful, free and easy wiki to set up on a win or *nix (including mac) machine.
The 2 step process includes installing Ruby and Instiki and will have you up and running in less than 20 min (most of the time is spent downloading).
Instik is a great way to run a personal wiki on your local machine or set one up to use for the members of your home network and it can be used to organize all kinds of data.

Then the instiki daemon listens on port 2500 in the background, so you just have to type a url of 'http://localhost:2500/' in a browser to connect to it.
Instiki doesn't do outlining as well as Acta, but it does it a lot better than KJots.
I think I still prefer Instiki as I can easily use it from multiple machines with different browsers, and the textile markup language is more standard (there are both ruby and python versions).

Instiki’s editing interface is intentionally spare, and you can simply type in text without any markup.

Instiki goes nuts, sucking up close to 100% of CPU and I have to feed it -9 just to kill the process.
So it is very important that the user can specify their own skin for the website (same as the template feature on blogger), and possibly check in the content source in the version control so that they can share the benefit as the source codes.
The cmd shell informs me that 'Instiki started on http://0.0.0.0:2500' I have typed this into my browser, but I am getting a connection failure Any ideas aidy --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message and any attachment are confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.

Instiki needs to be running on order for you to use it.
Information you put in Instiki is contained in a MySQL database and thus not searchable with spotlight (yet, that I know of).

 Ed-Tech Insider: Rendezvous and Instiki: No Bookmarks To Set, No IP Numbers to Remember...
Instiki, Rendezvouz, Apple's implementation of Zero Config, (which delivers zero configuration networking over the standard and ubiquitous IP networking protocol), and the web browser Safari are proving to be an interesting combination at Lewis Elementary School.
Instiki uses port 2500 on the local machine, so with a simple redirect from your local index.html page, you can point a Rendezvous enabled browser to your local wiki.
Playing around with instiki, I wonder if teachers can get away from the idea that the form of our students' documents is much less important than the content (instiki is light on appearance and formatting), but allows students and teachers alike to concentrate on content.

 half-pie: installing instiki on windows
Instiki is not only written in a language called Ruby, but uses a webserver and data storage mechanism that comes with every Ruby installation.
Time to visit the Instiki home page, and download the current ”.zip” file version (at time of writing this was 10.2).
Instiki doesn’t (at this moment) do file or image uploads, so it might not exactly be what you are after.

Instiki is hands down the coolest Wiki application I've seen that is ridiculously easy to install and use locally rather than in a shared environment (though, don't get me wrong -- you could install this and use it as a Wiki for collaborative projects on the Internet.
Instiki requires Ruby, and a Windows installer for Ruby is available here.
Instiki handles that like a charm -- install Ruby on the host computer and then expand Instiki on the external drive and you're in business.

 notes: Time For Wiki
Instiki is written in Ruby and shares the simplicity of that language.
Instiki seems to pride itself on the "there's no third step" simplicity of installation, and it's true.
Now I played around with Voodoopad and that was quick clean and nice, but not really a Wiki but a set of connected notes, but this Instiki really does offer a nice Wiki with a minimum of installing.

I don't know anything about Instiki in particular, but a Google search for 'instiki windows service' should set you on the right track.
I found this method to be the most useful in running Instiki as a service.
Never happens at all when Instiki is just launched from a command prompt.

 Instiki via Apache Reverse Proxy
Instiki is a cool instant-setup wiki written in Ruby.
I used Apache's proxy module to set up a reverse proxy to the published Instiki then used mod_proxy_html to rewrite the URLs in the pages to match the subdir where Instiki is hosted.
Currently, Instiki links to other pages with a URL of../published/WikiWord, and published is not a very sensible name for the wiki.

I will also lose on changes from Instiki, but since I'm not sure about how continued integration will work (expect for export/import) anyway, and that may turn out well in that it will force me to better review each change in Instiki and get a better understanding of what goes in where.
David was not interested in integrating them back into Instiki main, as they reduced the "no step three" installation (the GraphViz dependency) and simplicity on Instiki.
Instiki is now getting an SQLite backend, so I hope to pick that up as soon as it's ready.

 Instiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Instiki is a wiki, meaning that it is a web site that anyone can edit.
This would provide a much easier way to integrate Instiki with an existing web server than being forced to use reverse proxying, and my existing web server is probably about ten times faster than Instiki's built-in server.
Instiki's templates are already stored in a single directory.

 Instiki picks up and moves out
Instiki is a instant-on wiki based on Ruby, Madeleine (Prevayler for Ruby), WEBrick, and rendering by Textile, Markdown, and RDoc.
Instiki is now in it's 0.7th release and already my default pick for any new content-oriented venture.
It's used heavily in the study group to keep notes for our law class and write our bachelor's project (plans for a LaTeX-exporter is in the works).

 Running Instiki as a service | Ask MetaFilter
I tried the XP resource kit method as outlined on the tutorial but it doesn't quite work.
If so, I'm inclined to think that when you run it as a service Instiki may be unable to find the database DLLs in the lib/native/win32 folder.
I just set up Instiki on a Linux machine yesterday and was getting the same behavior (blank page).

 TextDrive Community Forum / partial HOWTO: Instiki as FastCGI
At the bottom of http://instiki.org/show/Installation there's a note that, as of 0.11.0, Instiki should be able to run as a FastCGI application.
However, I'm using Instiki for a private online notebook, so niceties like the given URI for a published version are not an issue.
The Instiki docs don't mention this, either, but without it I had no database for Instiki to place data in.

Like some other TxD users, I have installed Instiki (http://www.instiki.org/show/HomePage), and I must say it looks and works great.
Hmmm, now that you mention it, none of the public instiki's have a (working) pdf view.
As they advised on the Instiki wiki, I checked the log file Instiki generated when exporting to PDF, and found this error:

 What's the best Mac wiki? - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
I'm using Instiki a lot right now, as a consequence of (a) liking wikis and (b) hating word processing programs.
Instiki is a really great compromise, especially for those who are technically inept or in a hurry.
I'll likely spend some time with Instiki so as to create a basic mockup demonstrating the power of a collaborative solution like Wiki, and if things go my way I'll be spending a lot more time with it (and other flavors, perhaps!).

For those of you in the audience who just went “whu?”, Instiki currently uses a custom backend that in turn uses Madeleine for a backend.
Moving Instiki to AR means that it runs with a real database backend, which should lend a great deal of stability to it.
As a side effect, it should no longer be required that Instiki run under webrick, which should make a huge difference as well.

 Instiki and software design traps   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
I just had a go running Instiki, a ruby based wiki.
For example, a zope based equivalent might ask you to use a zope management screen to add a new blog via the standard mechanism, instead of the simpler one found in Instiki.
I wonder how much of Instiki's elegance comes from ruby, and how much from having a clean design in mind.

 Instiki-AR now has a converter!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Best I can suggest is you open up a ticket with Instiki at http://dev.instiki.org.
The converter uses your existing Instiki’s engine to read, so it shouldn’t matter if it’s in the log or the snapshot.
One suggestion would be to leave your old instiki running for a couple of days, it should dump a snapshot every 24 hours (I believe).

Anyway, Textile (and I guess Markdown as well) is VERY nice to use, especially for people not familiar with general wiki-markup.
Textile is very well thought out and it's a major part of the appeal of Instiki for me...
I like how it's used with Instiki, but the instability of that wiki software keeps me from using it too much.

 Instiki for OS X (Loud Thinking)
The new version of Instiki ships among other options a native OS X client (2.7 MB), which comes complete with Ruby 1.8 and all the libraries needed to run from a double-click.
It's a nice demonstration of how web-applications can blend with the native GUI and serve as a platform for making quick multi-os apps (I intend to do a Windows version at some point as well).
I don't want to mess anything up and wondered if this installed just assumes that a system doesn't have the necessary stuff (if so, is that a good idea?).
