Notes:

Awkiawki is a small and light (and perhaps somewhat simple) wiki clone written in awk.

Features

• tiny (currently ~300 lines of code)
• fast (awk is less complex as perl or python)
• easy installation (just three small scripts)
• portable (mawk, nawk, gawk, ...)
• Formatting Rules like the original WikiWikiWeb
• Write Protection for selected files (regex)
• Filebased (no Database is needed)
• PageHistory (with rcs)
• Text Search

Requirements

• awk interpreter (nawk, GNU/gawk, mawk, etc.)
• HTTP Server with CGI Interface (Apache> or thttpd> work, for example)

There is an alternative version or extension/hack page at http://81.86.193.194/cgi-bin/awki.cgi

License: Apparently freely distributable

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
