This is the homepage for amusewiki, a library-oriented wiki engine. Amusewiki is more than just a wiki engine, it's also a powerful authoring, archiving and publishing platform.

Amusewiki is 100% free software. You can download it at github or save time, energy and troubles and install it on Debian/Ubuntu with the packages provided at packages.amusewiki.org.

Why would I want this engine and not MediaWiki / Drupal / WordPress / whatever?

Amusewiki is not a clone of existing CMS. It was created to manage and edit large amounts of texts (books and articles) with a special focus on quality, printing and first rate reading experience. See /library/rationale to understand its architecture.

If you only need a CMS for a fancy site, amusewiki is not for you.

Instead, you should consider amusewiki if:

• You want high-quality output (EPUB and PDF with LaTeX quality).

• You want a site with a flat-file and Git backend for long-term archiving.

• You want to be able to reformat the PDFs, merging texts into collections. Add a text and take a look at the bookbuilder

• You want an OPDS server for mobile users to deliver the texts straight into the apps

• You don't want or need fine-grained user permissions.

• You don't want or need talks, comments, forums, social, etc embedded into the site.

See the feature list for more details.
