WackoWiki is a small, lightweight, handy, expandable, multilingual Wiki-engine.
WackoWiki allows the use of full HTML capabilities, and uses the SafeHTML parser (written by the same developers) to strip down all potentially dangerous content (JavaScript etc.), which may cause cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
WackoWiki is a fork of WakkaWiki.
Highlights of the software include a WYSIWYG editor, easy installer, many localizations, email notification on changes/comments, several cache levels, design themes (skins) support, XHTML compliance, page rights (ACLs), and page comments.
