This is the second public release of Yaki (the first was in Google Code, and is long obsolete).

Yaki is a filesystem-based wiki that is used as the underpinnings of The Tao of Mac (and a few other sites that started using the initial release).

• 100% pure Python, with extensive UTF-8 support
• Entirely self-hosting, running atop a modified Snakelets application framework
• Completely filesystem-based (pages are stored on a directory structure, not a database)
• Heavily optimized HTTP processing:
  • Pages are pre-processed to HTML
  • HTML and other internal info are stored in a single-file cache, a la Haystack
  • Everything is served via sendfile(2) calls whenever possible
  • Uses every HTTP caching trick in the book to minimize actual page hits
• Completely markup-agnostic - all the internal processing relies on Beautiful Soup, and it ships with support for:
  • raw HTML
  • Textile
  • Markdown
• Any markup engine that generates HTML can be added, and markup can be defined on a site-wide or page-per-page basis
• Has all the usual features, like:
  • Page aliasing
  • Interwiki
  • RecentChanges
  • etc.
• Has a number of unusual Bliki features, like a blog-like home page, linkblog support, and the SeeAlso table at the bottom of each page.
• Supports full-text indexing and search using Whoosh

• Python 2.6 (2.7 will work as well, and 2.5 may work with minimal tweaks)
• That's it.

Yaki is released under the MIT software license. Some third-party libraries in the userlibs folder are licensed differently and are included merely to ease deployment.

Snakelets was originally developed by Irmen de Jong
