Hackiki
Welcome to Hackiki, the world's most hackable wiki!
This is a wiki in which every page is a script, run in a more-or-less normal GNU/Linux environment. The actual engine just supports running scripts in a restricted environment; everything you see (the layout, the wiki syntax, the (fairly mundane) primary editor, everything) is actually supported by scripts written into the wiki, and editable by anyone! Most of Hackiki's features are documented on this wiki. It has a security system including user permissions to make this marginally safer than it sounds.
You may log in using OpenID, or various popular login providers (Google, Yahoo, etc).
If you want to set up your own Hackiki instance, there are instructions at installation. For obvious reasons, running a Hackiki instance is not as easy as running many other wikis.
It also has wikisyntax, although pages using this syntax are really just scripts for the ".wiki" program, which is really just an implementation of WikiCreole. Like everything else, .wiki can be edited by anyone!
Hackiki is F/OSS, under the MIT/X11 license. The source for Hackiki itself is available at https://codu.org/projects/hackiki/hg/ . The filesystem used on this wiki is available at http://hackiki.org/fs/ (and, of course, here), and a template filesystem for new Hackiki instances is at http://template.hackiki.org/fs/ . Changes to this wiki's filesystem are logged to a mailing list, at http://lists.codu.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hackiki-commits . Feel free to poke around! If you break something, please revert it with the administration interface (see link below). If you don't revert it, somebody else will, so don't go thinking you're a 1337 hax0r because you can edit a wiki :)
