So far I'm happy, I have been able to get it up and running very easily. Here's my situation: I need to have a wiki I can hack. My goal is to develop a semantic wiki that's more expressive than the semantic wikis current out there. I've worked with semantic mediawiki and ikewiki, and neither of them work for me. The other semantic wikis are even less usable and functional, so I thought I'd hack my own. I'd like to participate in the development of cl-wiki, insofar as it takes me towards this goal. There's a lot of code in implementing semantics that would be of little interest to cl-wiki. Would you be open to proposals for internal APIs in cl-wiki that could be used for developing such an extension? More generally, is there a roadmap you're following as you're developing cl-wiki? I didn't see one, and it would be nice to know if my intents approximately line up with the goals of the project. Thanks!

Take a look at Slava Pestov's announcement: http://factor-language.blogspot.com/2008/09/new-and-improved-factor-web.html The software is used for the wiki at http://concatenative.org/ Maybe this is more hackable than PHP wikis. > I'd like to participate in the development of cl-wiki, insofar as it There's no development at the moment. No users, no software. And Common Lisp isn't very friendly for Web applications. You don't know if the chosen implementation will run on your server. I can't use CMUCL or SBCL on my own web server (VPS). And CLISP is really slow together with CL-WIKI (or Hunchentoot).
