Design
ikiwiki compiles wiki pages into HTML pages for publication. Unlike conventional wiki software, it could use a standard version control system such as Subversion or Git[4] for managing differences between versions of a wiki page. The term "wiki compiler" was coined by ikiwiki's designer to compare the program's function to that of make or gcc for computer software projects.[5]. Other wiki compilers use wiki processor as term[6].
ikiwiki is implemented in Perl, although external plugins can be implemented in any language.[7] It supports several markup languages, including Markdown, Creole,[8] reStructuredText and Textile.[4] In the simplest case it can function as an off-line static web site generator, but it can use cgi to function as a normal web-interfaced wiki as well. Login via OpenID is supported.
ikiwiki is included in various Linux distributions, including Debian.[9] Licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2, ikiwiki is free software.
Use as a (possibly-distributed) bug tracker
Although wikis and bug tracking systems are conventionally viewed as distinct types of software, Ikiwiki can also be used as a (possibly-distributed) bug tracking system. However, its query functionality is not as advanced or as user-friendly as some other, non-distributed bug trackers such as BugZilla.[5]
