Revision 2311, 0.8 kB (checked in by david, 3 years ago)

Added brief README just to get someone started with i2

Line 
1 == i2: Instiki went slim
2
3 i2 is small, tight rewrite of Instiki as a native Rails application that runs of a database instead of Madeleine.
4 It's better suited for big, public wikis with lots of pages. But it requires more manual work to set up.
5
6 === Features
7
8 * Page caching: Once a page has been viewed, it's cached so only the web server needs to process it
9
10 * Multiple books: The same installation can host multiple books (separate wikis with their own namespace)
11
12
13 === Dependencies
14
15 * RedCloth: Use 3.0.3 as 3.0.4 is buggy.
