pWiki Portable Wiki (pWiki)

NOTE: the project is currently in prototype phase, thus while most things are likely to change, the implementation / API will definitely change! ;)

Project goals / main features:

  • Simple embeddable Wiki

    To be used as a zero-workflow app documentation platform, i.e. documentation that can be created, edited, tweaked and updated in-app without requiring setting up and maintaining a write-convert-embed workflow.

    This was a requirement on the \ImageGrid.Viewer project and as a side-effect pWiki hosts it's own documentation too.

  • Pluggable storage and synchronization mechanisms

    A set of tools and API's to enable data synchronization between pWiki instances.

  • Self-hosted[*] and flexible user interface

    The pWiki interface is implemented as a set of pWiki pages and templates within pWiki itself (see: [Templates] / /bootstrap), this enables the user to customize the look feel and to some extent the function of the interface from within pWiki, without touching the code.

    [*]: "Self-hosted" here is meant in the old-school meaning of the word, i.e. hosted on the client.

  • pWiki portable app

    This is a simple note / todo / outline app.

    The pWiki app is a stand-alone instance of pWiki wrapped in an app supporting all major desktop as well as mobile platforms.

    The app serves the following goals:

    • a simple and functional note / todo / outline app (obviously)
    • an external/portable Wiki editor, as an alternative for in-target-app documentation editor with ability to seamlesly synchronize with the target app pWiki instance.
    • a stand-alone testing platform and reference implementation for pWiki components.
