Version 35 of Wikit

Updated 2002-12-05 19:08:39

The name "Wikit" can be interpreted in two ways:

  1. An implementation of Wiki in Tcl
  2. An implementation of Wiki using MetaKit.

Both are accurate.

Wikit can be used as a CGI process (see Wikit under CGI), in which case it becomes a part of your web server, or it can be used standalone, running locally with a Tcl/Tk graphical front end (see Wikit in local mode). The former makes collaborative editing possible, the latter includes a high-performance search facility and makes it very easy to browse and edit information off-line.

Right now, these two mechanisms do not mix.

What you can do, however, is download a copy of an active web-based WiKit (such as this one, the Tcl'ers Wiki), and keep it around as reference to what that snapshot contains. WiKit is fully self contained in a single platform-independent file, called a Starkit. It requires a platform-dependent runtime called Tclkit, There are runtimes for over a dozen platforms.

To get it go here: [L1 ]

As of 2002, Wikit can be embedded as a hyperlinked and searchable help system.
