Wakka Wiki
WikkaWiki builds on code from
WakkaWiki, adding numerous
features and fixes.
Some history
WakkaWiki is a legendary
wiki engine, written in PHP with a
MySQL backend. Developed by Carlos Zottman and
Hendrik Mans, it rapidly grew into one of the most popular CMS for small intranets and collaborative projects, thanks to its
lightweightness and its easily hackable code.
Death and rebirth of a wiki engine
In 2003, the development of Wakka Wiki came abruptly to an end, although a large community of contributors was still actively posting bugfixes, extensions and new functionalities. Lacking further maintainance, Wakka ceased being attractive to new users and saw most of its contributors migrate to one of its many forks. Today,
WakkaWiki survives in a number of forks, sharing the same ancestry but pursuing their own visions. It is for this reason that
WakkaWiki was nominated as one of the best
wiki engines ever (see the
WikiEngineHallOfFame).
As of September 2004 the original
WakkaWiki domain appears to be defunct. The original
WakkaWiki site (whose
latest version is still archived on the
WayBack Machine).
Introducing WikkaWiki
First released in May 2004,
WikkaWiki has grown into a mature project aiming to remain faithful to Wakka's heritage of a
lightweight engine with readable and accessible code. Easy
extensibility/hackability (without sacrificing
performance) are among Wikka's most prominent and appreciated features.
