Hi dear visitor, this is the README file of [Qwicky] 2, the REALLY quick wiki. (and small as well!)
You are obviously reading this, so the README has already fulfilled it's purpose. Feel free to close this file now.
If, of course, you'd like to know how Qwicky is to be operated, feel also free to read on!
Got a patch? Found a bug? Need a feature? Let me know!

Install it, if you haven't already:
gem sources -a http://gems.github.com gem install karottenreibe-qwicky -
Start it:
qwicky -
Open it in your browser
http://localhost:4567 -
Set the page you want to be displayed when starting Qwicky, set the Markup language you want to use, press save.
-
Enjoy! (and don't forget to share...)
BTW, did I mention that you can tell qwicky where to put the wiki database and settings file?
qwicky -- some/dir/to/put/the/files/in
Oh, and also try
qwicky --help
for additional options...
There's only one catch to markup: If you want something other than plain text and RDoc (which is most probably already installed on your system), you'll have to install the gems yourself. This is to not introduce any unnecessary gems to your system.
But DON'T PANIC, it's easy:
-
For Markdown, you can do
gem install rdiscountor any of the other nice Markdown libraries, e.g. Maruku, peg-markdown etc. I wouldn't recommend BlueCloth, unless you really think you need that, see [this Blog post] 1. (As you might have already guessed from the layout of this document, I prefer Markdown. But it's your choice.)
-
For Textile, you can do
gem install redcloth
Qwicky will automatically pick out the right gem to require.
To link to other wiki pages, use the old, familiar
[[other page]]
[[other page|title]]
syntax.
If you don't like the looks of Qwicky -- no, of course that's impossible... silly...
But in any case, if you create a file called qwicky.sass in the directory where your database and settings are stored, qwicky will automatically run it through [Sass] 3 and apply it.
