About WiKiss

WiKiss is a small, free wiki application distributed under the GNU GPL that aims to be simple to use and deploy: it needs only PHP and installs in about two minutes, with no database server. It provides simplified syntax, page history with differences between versions, password protection, automatic tables of contents, search, plugins and theming. It suits individuals and small teams that want a lightweight personal or project wiki on basic hosting.
