Zwiki is.. a powerful, innovative, user-friendly wiki engine based on the Zope 2 platform. (There is also a more limited Zwiki for Zope 3.) This project has been developed since 1999 by Simon Michael and contributors around the world, powers many Zope and non-Zope-related wikis, and is free software released under the GNU General Public License . Please explore the site, and enjoy the software. Your questions, comments, patches and donations are most welcome!

Features.. the classic wiki features, plus a number of uncommon ones (all optional):

works with plain Zope or inside Plone sites
completely manageable through the web
lightweight page hierarchy, with a simple flat url space
smooth two-way email integration, can be a mail list
an elegant, integrated wiki-based issue tracker
powerful, sandboxed dynamic scripting
editable in your web browser, in any external editor, via ftp, webdav, TinyMCE HTML editor
supports RestructuredText, StructuredText, WYSIWYG HTML, plaintext (Zwiki 1 also supports MoinMoin, WikiWikiWebMarkup, LaTeX)
inherits all the power of Zope and its add-ons - platform independence, undo, transactions, membership, cross-site syncing...
precise permissions-based access control
strong internationalisation support
natural, fuzzy-matching urls
highly customizable skin
page ratings
RSS feeds
just works, yet flexible
mature and refined through daily use

Flaws.. here are some things to be aware of: 1. To run a zwiki site, you need a host that supports Zope 2 (or see FreeHosting). 2. Scaling large wikis to very high performance levels requires lots of ram (or some expertise). 3. Other KnownIssues.
