iopcc/rikiki

Rikiki is a small Wiki engine in python3 I built for Shortest Wiki Contest.

Rikiki means "tiny" in french.

Fun fact: Rikiki source code is three times smaller than this readme file.

History

• First version : 532 bytes
• Second version : 507 bytes
• Third version : 477 bytes
• Fourth version : 469 bytes

Usage

YOU SHALL NOT USE THIS CODE IN PRODUCTION!

This code is NOT SECURE and it is based onto CGI technology which is OBSOLETE for production.

To run this wiki, you need python3 only :

1. Create a folder named "wiki"
2. Create a sub-folder named "cgi-bin"
3. Copy rikiki.py inside the "cgi-bin" folder
4. chmod +x on rikiki.py
5. Run this command from the wiki folder : PYTHONWARNINGS="ignore" python -m http.server --cgi

Now, you can go and visit : http://localhost:8000/cgi-bin/rikiki.py?p=HomePage

Features

As stated in the Shortest Wiki Contest consraints,there are some Wiki Principles to obey :

• Automatic Link Generation: Each page is in CamelCase. As soon as you write it in source, it is available via a link.
• Content Editable By All: Totally open, everyone can change sources and create more pages.
• EasyTextInput: Paragraphs are done with breaking lines, link to other pages are done in CamelCase.
• Back Links: If a page A links to a page B, this page B will display a link to page A.

Constraints

In order to gain bytes, you can't do a lot :

• Only ASCII characters are managed
• Formating text is highly limited ;o)
• Input textarea should be resized before typing
• No versioning of sources
