About PmWiki

PmWiki is a wiki-based content management system for the collaborative creation and maintenance of websites. Pages look like normal web pages with an Edit link, so authors can modify and add pages using simple editing rules without knowing HTML or CSS. Administrators control access with passwords, change appearance with skins, and extend behavior through hundreds of cookbook recipes. Written in PHP and GPL-licensed, it suits group websites and intranets.
