PmWiki
A lightweight, file-based wiki built so anyone can edit pages without knowing HTML.
What is PmWiki?
PmWiki is a collaborative wiki platform for creating and maintaining websites participatively: pages look and act like normal web pages, but include an 'Edit' link that makes it easy to modify existing pages or add new ones using simple editing rules, with no HTML or CSS knowledge required.
What is PmWiki for?
- A collaborative site where several non-technical people edit content.
- Shared documentation with access control by page or page group.
- A wiki that needs a different visual look via templates (skins).
Main benefits of PmWiki
No need to know HTML or CSS to edit content.
Access control via passwords at the site, page-group or individual-page level.
Modular architecture extendable through add-ons called 'recipes'.
Who should use PmWiki?
Communities or teams that want anyone to be able to edit content easily with no prior technical training.
Is PmWiki the right choice for you?
It's a great fit if…
- You want non-technical contributors to be able to edit pages easily.
- You'd rather not depend on a database.
- You need to customize the look with different templates.
It might not be for you if…
- You need the version-control depth and scale of a very large wiki project (consider MediaWiki).
- You want advanced syntax highlighting for technical content (consider WikkaWiki).
