~//For a while, I've been looking at several implementations of Wiki software. MediaWiki is nice, but very heavy on the server. Not weird, considering the software is loaded with features. Of course, a lot of those features are hardly needed, so I chose to stay away from MediaWiki. --- After trying various other Wiki implementations, I came by WikkaWiki. It has all the usual features of a wiki, but isn't too loaded with features that I don't need. I just need some wiki functionality. Looking at the code, it was quite easy to customize. And fully XHTML and CSS-based, which is also a big plus.//

~//I was recently looking around at wiki scripts to run my own wiki-based projects. Naturally, the first script I looked at was the MediaWiki script used by Wikipedia. In fact, at the time, I already had in mind to use that script. It had not occurred to me that there might be any other script to use. After opening up the script to poke around, however, I realized that it was so horrible that not only was I dissuaded from using it without looking for other scripts, I was resolved that it would probably be better to write my own wiki script than to use the MediaWiki script (luckily, I didn’t have to, because Wikka is pretty good). The script is incredibly complex without needing to be so. There is no easy way to create plugins for the script, because they all require a full understanding of hundreds of lines of tangled code. But even this would be excuseable, since with script is designed for only one project and therefore doesn’t need to be easily modifiable for others to use. The greater problem comes from the fact that the code is so incredibly bloated. I feel sorry for the processor that has to run that code. And I’m not one to empathize with chunks of silicon and metal.//

~//I think WikkaWiki has some strong points, even compared to MediaWiki. To me, it’s a good balance between features and lightness. ([[http://forum.textpattern.com/profile.php?id=786 davidm]]) --- David, I fully agree I installed WikkaWiki locally today and I have played with it some and it’s just what I was looking for. It has all the features that I wanted without feeling like it is bloated like MediaWiki can be at times ([[http://forum.textpattern.com/profile.php?id=956 Niloc]])//

~//[M]y first wiki was MediaWiki, and I just decided it was.. 'too much'. I wanted something that was easier, cleaner interface, and where new users with something to say would be more likely to add content and ended up with WikkaWiki ([[http://forums.site5.com/printthread.php?t=2229 Jason Rahaim]])//

~- //New Wikka user, since march 2005. Have been customizing it a bit, and like the performance and flexibility a lot! [...] Thanks for WikkaWiki, It's a great program and can run circles around MediaWiki anytime :)//

~- //WikkaWiki is also much faster than MediaWiki. I tried that for a little while, and found that it was too slow. Anyway, I like how there's so much development going into WikkaWiki.
~Thanks for the good work.//
