The web site talks about the latest version of FlexWiki. The port was done with an older version. The FlexWiki developers haven't been especially keen on keeping Mono support when they make architectural decisions. Since most work at MS, that is not surprising. Unlike the NAnt guys which do and the NUnit guys (myself among them) that keep Mono support going from the community side.

I was just pointing it out as an example. Sorry to have wasted your time.

There is one. Actually, FlexWiki is an open-source Microsoft project that has been ported to Mono.

Yes, you read that right. FlexWiki is hosted on SourceForge and is covered under the CPL license (OSI approved.)


But from what I can tell, it will still only run under Windows because it uses the filesystem (NTFS) instead of a database for data persistence:

But there may be two items that may obviate that need:

1) perhaps there's nothing really special about using NTFS, so that any filesystem could be used (e.g. ext3)
2) support for a database, which seems to have been added recently:
