WikkiTikkiTavi is a wiki engine. It 's a script written in PHP that that runs wiki sites.

Wikis are a revolutionary new form of collaboration and online community.

Although there exist many WikiEngines and wikis around the world, this wiki is dedicated to the WikkiTikkiTavi and those of you who might want to use it for your wiki.

Why is it called WikkiTikkiTavi?

It's a reference to the character Rikki-tikki-tavi, a mongoose whose [story] was told by Rudyard Kipling in the second of his [Jungle Books].

He was a brave mongoose, living the true mongoose spirit, the way WikkiTikkiTavi tries to live the TrueWikiSpirit.

or use the gnuwin32 port
