a basic wiki clone so pretty and easy to set up, you’ll wonder if it’s really a wiki.

===What is Instiki?

Admitted, it's YetAnotherWikiClone[http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiWikiClones], but with a strong focus
on simplicity of installation and running:

Step 1. Download
Step 2. Run "instiki"

Here it should say: "Step 3. Chuckle... "There's no step three!" (TM)"
... but this is a beta version that introduces an SQL-based backend, so:

3. Kill 'instiki'
4. Install SQLite 3 database engine from http://www.sqlite.org/
5. Install SQLite 3 driver for Ruby from http://sqlite-ruby.rubyforge.org/
6. Install Rake from http://rake.rubyforge.org/
7. Execute 'rake db_schema_import create_sessions_table'
8. Make an embarrassed sigh (as I do while writing this)
9. Run 'instiki' again
10. Pat yourself on the shoulder for being such a talented geek
11. At least, there is no step eleven! (TM)

You're now running a perfectly suitable wiki on port 2500 
that'll present you with one-step setup, followed by a textarea for the home page
on http://localhost:2500.

Instiki lowers the barriers of interest for when you might consider
using a wiki. It's so simple to get running that you'll find yourself
using it for anything -- taking notes, brainstorming, organizing a 
gathering.

===Features:
* Regular expression search: Find deep stuff really fast
* Revisions: Follow the changes on every page from birth. Rollback to an earlier rev
* Export to HTML or markup in a zip: Take the entire wiki with you home or for reference
* RSS feeds to track recently revised pages
* Multiple webs: Create separate wikis with their own namespace
* Password-protected webs: Keep it private
* Authors: Each revision is associated with an author, so you can see who changed what
* Reference tracker: Which other pages are pointing to the current?
* Speed: Using Madelein[http://madeleine.sourceforge.net] for persistence (all pages are in memory)
* Three markup choices: Textile[http://www.textism.com/tools/textile] 
  (default / RedCloth[http://www.whytheluckystiff.net/ruby/redcloth]), 
  Markdown (BlueCloth[http://bluecloth.rubyforge.org]), and RDoc[http://rdoc.sourceforge.net/doc]
* Embedded webserver: Through WEBrick[http://www.webrick.org]
* Internationalization: Wiki words in any latin, greek, cyrillian, or armenian characters
* Color diffs: Track changes through revisions

===Missing:
* File attachments

===Command-line options:
* Run "instiki --help"

===History:
 * See CHANGELOG

===Migrating Instiki 0.10.2 storage to Instiki-AR database
1. Install Instiki-AR and check that it works (you should be able to create a web, edit and save a HomePage)
2. Execute 
      ruby script\import_storage \
          -t /full/path/to/instiki0.10/storage \
          -i /full/path/to/instiki0.10/installation \
          -d sqlite (or mysql, or postgres, depending on what you use) \
          -o instiki_import.sql
   for example: 
   ruby script\import_storage -t c:\instiki-0.10.2\storage\2500 -i c:\instiki-0.10.2 -d sqlite -o instiki_import.sql
3. This will produce instiki_import.sql file in the current working directory. 
   Open it in a text editor and inspect carefully.
4. Connect to your production database (e.g., 'sqlite3 db\prod.db'), 
   and have it execute instiki_import.sql (e.g., '.read instiki_import.sql')
5. Execute ruby script\reset_references 
   (this script parses all pages for crosslinks between them, so it may take a few minutes)
6. Restart Instiki
7. Go over some pages, especially those with a lot of complex markup, and see if anything is broken.

The most common migration problem is this: 
If you open All Pages screen and see a lot of orphaned pages, 
you forgot to run ruby script\reset_references after importing the data.
