W2 wiki

W2 wiki is a web-based, wiki-like notepad that you can host yourself.

Notable features:

• Elegant text markup:
  • Uses Markdown Syntax.
  • It supports double-brackets like this to link to another page in the wiki by title
  • It supports double-braces {{like this}} to link to an uploaded image
• Minimalistic but functional interface:
  • Fits to screen nicely when viewed on iPhone, with custom icon for adding to home screen
  • HTML5 compliant output
• Title & content search
• Filesystem storage (no database required) in plain Markdown text files.
• Rudimentary git integration to commit & push each page edit
• Localization support (currently en/ja translations available)
• Image uploading support
• Optionally password-protected
• Unlike cloud / hosted solutions, you retain control of your data
• Written in PHP for portability and hackability
• Extremely compact (only a few .php files and a .css file)
