Zwiki is a Wiki engine based on Zope which allows you to build Wiki Webs (easy-to-edit, flexible, collaborative Web sites) in the Zope environment.

Zwiki is an easy-to-use, fun, and powerful wiki engine based on the Zope web application server; it also works well with the Plone CMS.

Here are some key features of "Zwiki":
simple and fuzzy urls
automatic page hierarchy and subtopics links
smooth two-way mail integration
RSS
issue tracking
dynamic scripting
a variety of text markups including RestructuredText, MoinMoin and LaTeX
WYSIWYG and external editing
fine-grained security
strong internationalization support
