Hello all,

I’m looking for suggestions for integrated Blog + Wiki (Bliki) apps.  
I’d  
prefer Rails, I want to hear opinions on all options!

I’ve browsed through W:Bliki [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bliki](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bliki).  
Nothing  
in that list is immediately compelling.  
This is for my wife, who is not a technologist, and has a need to create  
a  
information-centric website. I’m looking for options that would allow  
blog  
integration as well.

Question to answer for your suggestions: In the bliki you suggest, does  
the  
blogging filter understand wiki formatting?

Let me hear it!

Can Typo do what you want?

I’m using typo for my blog, but not seeing “simple” way to tie  
blog+wiki,  
and also not seeing wiki-style tag processing in save of blog/page via  
Textile or Markup/Smartypants.

Take a look at DokuWiki.  
It has a ‘blog’ plugin. Not as full featured as Typo or Wordpress, but  
it might do the trick.

In the works - slowly but surely 🙂  
Suggest you work of the SVN branch at the moment, as it’s stable with  
some low maintenance work until I get the trunk (Pimki 2) ready for  
release.
