Hello folks,

We’re proud to announce the first version of Riki, -yet another- a wiki  
using Engines. It started from an Engine-ification of the latest version  
from i2, from a while ago, and since then more functionality has been  
added, to become what it is now: a fairly usable wiki. So far for the  
promo talk. More motivation for “why Riki?” can be found on  
[http://smart-engines.dyndns.org/riki/](http://smart-engines.dyndns.org/riki/), together with information on how  
to obtain it and install it.

Riki features currently:

- Multiple books, controllable from an admin page
- Menu, editable from within the wiki
- Import wiki from Instiki, and i2, or any Textile-based wiki
- Deleting pages  
This will rename all links to this page to something like [page x is  
removed]
- Renaming pages  
This will also rename all links to this page, preserving the name  
behind the pipe.
- Overview of populated pages, awaiting pages, and orphaned pages

and will be extended with

- File upload
- Login- and UserEngine
- Search functionality (to come very soon)
- Some more base wiki features

Go ahead, and try it out, and please do send any remarks. They may be  
positive or negative, as long as they constructive ;-). What would be  
interesting is how well it serves what it (and Engines in general) is  
meant for: a wiki application to incorporate easily in an existing Rails  
application.

Enjoy,

Bart.
