There are a number of other up-and-coming Ruby/Rails wikis; _why just

will import an exported .zip of Instiki pages into Junebug.  See the
blog entry on this at:

I've recently switched one of my personal Instiki wikis to Junebug -
unfortunately before the arrival of _why's script. The Textile formats are
mostly compatible anyway, so for small wikis it's just a matter of getting
them both running and copying/pasting the textile across.

The big plus with Junebug is (finally) user authentication, which should cut
down on spam for a while. Minuses are its relative (to Instiki) lack of
features: no search, no backlinks, no user lists, no multiple wikis etc etc.
However, on my Windows machine it seems much faster (even though I had to run
it with the -t switch <http://www.junebugwiki.com/JunebugFeedback> due to -
possibly - some problem with the daemons gem) and it is quite pretty out of
the box. It works flawlessly, as per the instructions, on my Mac. I've yet
to test if the same Wiki can be run on either a Mac or a PC, but I've no
reason to believe it can't (Instiki does, as do most Rails apps).

Definitely one to watch.
