Important XSS vulnerability patch release! Please update to Instiki 0.13 immediately!

Instiki (What Is Instiki) is a basic wiki clone so pretty and easy to set up, you’ll wonder if it’s really a wiki. Instiki may not have all the features of the competitors, but what it does it does very well indeed.

In fact it’s not only a wiki. It supports file uploads, PDF export, RSS feeds, multiple users, multiple wiki sites and password protection. Some people even use Instiki as a CMS - Content Management System because of its ability to export static pages.

Windows

Download
run “instiki.cmd” with Ruby 1.8.4 or greater installed (get One-Click Ruby Installer for Windows)
Chuckle… There Is No Step Three™! :) (See note)

Mac OS X

Download
run “instiki” with Ruby 1.8.4 or greater installed (get the Ruby One-Click Installer for OSX)
Chuckle… There Is No Step Three™! :) (See note)
If you have problems such as “wiki not found” please read SQLite issues on OSX

Linux

Download
run “instiki” with Ruby 1.8.4 or greater installed (compile Ruby by yourself or check if there are packages for Ruby or even instiki in your package-installer)
Chuckle… There Is No Step Three™! :) (See note)

Now Instiki is running on port 2500. Visit http://localhost:2500 for quick configuration followed by a text area for the home page….

Note: As of version 0.11.0, this applies only to the Windows and OSX version with Ruby installed. If you are using any other system, please read more about Installation.

Instiki only relies on Ruby—the sole external dependency (it includes all other dependencies).
Any OS that can run Ruby can run Instiki – that includes Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and most known Unix flavors.

Ruby One-Click Installer for OSX Juli 12, 2007
to keep the “there is no step three” for Mac OSX, i developed a One-Click Installer for OSX which makes it very easy for people running Mac OS X to get Ruby up and running, even without Apple XCODE!—parasew

instiki SVN move to Rubyforge April 19, 2007
i moved the instiki subversion repository to rubyforge, since the
people at textdrive don’t respond to my support requests and
dev.instiki.org gets spammed to death. find the new repository at the rubyforge site: http://rubyforge.org/scm/?group_id=186
those people who need or want a developer account, please contact me
directly via mail. please also commit patches, support requests, bugs
and that kind of stuff only to the rubyforge page from now on.

0.12 will be late March 4, 2007
I’m sick, lying in bed and cannot work that much on instiki these days. I apologize for the 0.12 version being late a little. Please do submit your patches and bugfixes in the meanwhile. I will continue working on the 0.12 release when i am better. —parasew

cross site scripting vulnerability! please update your instiki to 0.11.pl1 Febuary 27, 2007
People running Instiki 0.11 should update immediately to Instiki 0.11pl1

hivelogic stress test Febuary 13, 2007
The current trunk version of instiki has the plugin form-spam-protection included. To stress test this plugin for an upcoming anti-spam edition of instiki i disabled the dnsbl_check on this main wiki and just let the form-spam-protection plugin show its strength. Hope it works out! Feedback welcome!—parasew

importers and exporters wanted Febuary 8, 2007
Which importers from other wiki systems and formats would you use? Are there any exporters missing? Please let us know in the Feature Request Page. Did you already write an importer or exporter script? Submit it to the instiki patch tracker—parasew

Please use only the trac now for bug reporting and sending patches! anonymous reporting enabled!—

sorry for downtime January 10, 2007
I apologize for the long downtime of the instiki main site end of december. The main instiki site runs patched on mongrel, which crashed. now this won’t happen again, since there is a cronjob checking if things are going well!—parasew

Spam Activity drastically reduced November 19, 2006
Spam on the current instiki site reduced drastically, after applying the dnsbl_check – a realtime lookup to blacklisted IPs. Still there is some spamming going on. Please post your anti-spamming and spamfixig-ideas to AntiSpam, we will provide patches soon. —parasew

Instiki Site Uses DNS-Blacklist now November 18, 2006
