AmuseWiki
Amusewiki is based on the Emacs Muse markup, remaining mostly compatible with the original implementation. It can work as a read-only site, as a moderated wiki, or as a fully open wiki or even as a private site.

README
 This is a wiki engine using the Text::Amuse markup (based on and mostly compatible with Emacs Muse) and a Git backend. It can work as a read-only site, as a moderated wiki, or as a fully open wiki or even as a private site. On a single instance you can run as many sites as you want. The application is written in Perl and uses the AmuseWikiFarm namespace (for legacy reason, as its predecessor used the AmuseWiki namespace). The application has an extensive test suite. However, **do not run `make test` in the production directory**. If you want to run the tests, do it in a dedicated checkout, as tests leave a lot of files behind. ## Documentation The official documentation can be found on https://amusewiki.org If for some reason the site is offline you can find the muse source files in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/melmothx/amusewiki-site).
