I’d like to be able to embed wiki-ish functionality in my rails app.  
It’s a very loose idea at this point, without much for requirements,  
other than:

- I’d like the same view template to be able to display standard model  
stuff from my database and wiki-ish type content (updateable, editable  
in a wiki-ish type way).

- Ideally, I’d like to be able to associate specific model objects with  
n number of wiki-ish text boxes (ModelThing has many WikiEntries type of  
concept. I doubt there’s an active recordish way to do this, but any  
way to establish a relationship between a ModelThing and a series of  
WikiEntries about that ModelThing would be nice.)

Anyone know of any such thing that I can go read about?

TIA… Bryan

Probably this isn’t 100% related, but I have somekind of a distributed  
SCM-powered (Bazaar) “wiki” in here:  
[http://buku.ruby-id.web.id/](http://buku.ruby-id.web.id/)

It’s updateable using Bazaar 🙂 I find it much faster to edit, and more  
convenient, than web-based Wiki pages 😃

The full source-code to the Rails application is available at Buku Ruby  
Indonesia project:  
[https://launchpad.net/bukuruby](https://launchpad.net/bukuruby)  
(including all articles listed there)

And… It doesn’t use ActiveRecord… yet 😛
