About


In need for a light knowledge base software and not happy with solutions such as MediaWiki, Dokuwiki or Confluence I decided to build such a tool based on ProcessWire. At the moment this profile is lacking of features, but doing well in the context it is created for - a somewhat protected simple knowledge base for internal use.

Install and use modules at your own risk. Always have a site and database backup before installing new modules.
