Richard Jones' Log: Wiki in Django, anyone?

Wed, 14 Jun 2006

Has anyone got a wiki that I could plug into my existing Django installation? Minimum requirements:

  1. Obviously the basic wiki-linking, page creation, editing and removal,
  2. Page history with diffs and easy reversion of spam,
  3. Handling (upload / displaying) images, and
  4. "Login" for users to identify changes.

Nice to have:

  1. Control over cosmetics, and
  2. reStructuredText markup.

I'd use an existing wiki except my hosting has reached an "app" limit so I need to get it into my existing Django "app".

Moinmoin? I know it's not the django route... (can't you just build a
wiki in 20 miliseconds with django? ;)

moinmoin >= 1.5 can act as a wsgi app.

You can easily hook multiple wsgi apps together. Perhaps running your
django app as a wsgi app, with moinmoin attached.

However, then you'd probably need to work out how to share
authentication and autorisation between them.

I'd be happy enough with moinmoin, but as I mentioned I'm kinda stuck with my web host and need a Django extension.

Someone should write a WSGI gateway for Django, so it can host MoinMoin (or whatever else)...

@Peter: Yeah, I found that when I googled before I posted. I need those other features I listed in my post.
@Ian: I guess that'd be cool :)

I have been working on this myself although so far all I have done is implemented a wikitags parser. This may be a good start for you though.
Check it out
I will be updating this soon with an interface for users to edit/add pages but at the moment I use it from the django admin interface to format my blog posts.
