<p>Ikiwiki looks great - the only comment I would make is that (according to the previously mentioned wiki comparison site) it doesn't seem to support localisation. Can anyone confirm this?</p>
<p>Whilst I agree security needs to be a top priority, if we want these boxes to be used widely in countries with oppressive regimes, then I think localisation into many languages, or at least the ability for the user community to do so, should be an important priority also.</p>
<p>Just my 2p, dan :)<br>

I'm wondering what you'd recommend for a wiki engine on the DreamPlug?<br>

I recommend to avoid coding envorinments that encourage speedy and<br>
"sloppy" coding with little or no care for security. I am no expert in<br>
that field, but would personally steer away from PHP, Ruby on rails and<br>
Django.<br>

Agree...<br>

I recommend to aim for extreme efficiency in power concumption and<br>

I would like to agree, because I like ikiwiki a lot, and it's what I use for my personal projects almost exclusively. But I think ikiwiki is a piece of software that demands a certain amount of technical sophistication, and if the intent is to have something that the average citizen can easily use, it would be necessary to to set up a wrapper for some canned configurations, with a larger set of themes.<br>

The FreedomBox Foundation uses Ikiwiki for their website.<br>

Yes, but surely we don't expect the average user to be tweaking CSS etc?<br>
<br>
Don't get me wrong -- I think it would be great to use ikiwiki, but it would take some work to make it accessible to the average person, don't you think?<br>
<br>
I guess it depends on the use case, though. If the intent is to provide a standard "Freedom Box Wiki" that comes preconfigured, then it would be great.<br>
