Kwik is a wiki engine written in PHP, MediaWiki compatible, but without the bloated features.

It's intended to be used as a personal or small organization wiki, where users are trusted and time is not meant to be spent on maintenance.

Key features

• Quick setup.
• Up to 100 times faster than MediaWiki.
• Better text search than MediaWiki.
• Skip preconfiguration process: just unzip and run.
• MediaWiki syntax compatible.
• Filesystem as storage, there's no need for a database backend.
• Friendly URLs.

Requirements

• Apache2 webserver with mod_rewrite enabled. Lighttpd support has dropped, for now (sorry!).
• PHP 5 or greater, either as module or as cgi.
• Access to cd, ls, rm and grep system commands for search feature. Windows servers must provide them via cygwin.

Installation

Unzip the files on the root folder of your running webserver. At least, the pages directory has to be writeable by the webserver user.

Point your browser to http://localhost/kwik/ and enter default credentials user user and password password.

If you want, edit the list of allowed users in index.php and/or add versioning to pages directory with your preferred SCM.
