Archer is a Flask-based wiki, backed by SQLite and Git.
This is a personal prototype that's not ready for other people to use and you can safely ignore it.
Python's programmatic Git interface is used for saving page edits into version control, while SQLite is used for serving the pages up inside the app, and full-text search.

This is a prototype that grew out of me playing with the Flask Tutorial. I'm using it to explore how to implement some ideas that are important in multi-user documentation environments that might be important in a professional setting. Right now that includes:
- user groups
- access control to certain pages based on user group
In the future I'd like to work on features that would let me use it as an "everything bucket" of sorts that I can run on DO or some other service and access from anywhere. Some features that would be cool to have include:
- tagging pages and adding different "views", such as "wiki view" or "issue tracker view"
- See the file
DESIGNin this directory for some random notes and ideas about where to go - REST API
- web-facing query language similar to JQL
- search
- page history view
- DB abstraction to move off of SQLite
- oh yeah, tests
Set the ARCHER_DATA_DIR env var to a Git repo where you want your
Markdown files to be stored.
$ pip3 install markdown html2text flask gitpython
$ export ARCHER_DATA_DIR=/Users/rloveland/Desktop/archer-files
$ python3 archer.py
