About svnwiki
Svnwiki is a content management system that
- has many extensions that provide commonly desired functionality such as
- image galleries (through the image extension),
- weblogs (through the weblog, the atom and archive extensions),
- rating and voting of articles to provide the top-rated articles (through the rating extension),
- making forums to discuss articles (through the discuss extension),
- subscribing to articles to receive email notifications (through the mail extension), and
- displaying articles over a map (through the googlemap extension), among many others;
- uses a wiki approach to collaborative authoring of information, which means
- representing pages in an easy to modify wiki format and
- allowing anyone to browse and modify the information through a web interface; and
- stores contents in a Subversion repository, which makes it possible to
- modify the information offline with your favorite text editor after checking out a copy of the repository and
- work with the regular Subversion commands (such as svn log, svn diff, svn checkout, svn commit, etc.) that some users may feel more comfortable with.
You are currently reading an article handled by svnwiki (you can see a list of example wikis).
Svnwiki is written in the Scheme programming language (in the Chicken Scheme implementation) and runs under Common Gateway Interface calling Subversion's libsvn_client C library. It was developed as a set of multiple Chicken extensions (eggs) that allows their reuse in other applications.
It is under active development.
