There are a number of other up-and-coming Ruby/Rails wikis; _why just mentioned a new one (http://junebugwiki.com/) that focuses on the personal wiki space like Instiki did. _why also wrote a script that will import an exported .zip of Instiki pages into Junebug. See the blog entry on this at: http://redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/instikiToJunebug.html
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.
