MiniWikis

I have been looking for a self contained Wiki that I can put on my Flash Drive and carry around with me. Today I found Mini Ruby Wiki. After I read the source and figured out it wanted a hostname and port numbers as parameters it worked straight away.

Pros:


  • It is self contained in one folder.
  • It contains it's own webserver and runs from a folder.

Cons:

  • It seems to have a problem, maybe only on Opera, where pages are cached which means you really have to do a refresh after viewing each page to ensure you get the latest edit.
  • I'll have to install Ruby on any machine that I want to use it on.

'WikiServer' is very small, and I do carry it around on my keyring. Win32 only at mo (although open C++ source, so maybe...)
