MiniRubyWiki in action?

Rubies:

After "releasing" early MRW releases, I'm curious if it has seen
regular use, and if anyone has added any interesting mods.

Its project account is here:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/minirubywiki/

Its old home-page is down, but this page covers it:

http://www.xpsd.org/cgi-bin/wiki?TestFirstUserInterfaces

That page also contains a clicker for its latest source, but nobody
should use that because it's very radical. Resist the temptation to
see what has become of it!

I would have used it, but my ISP does not offer Ruby. Don't worry, I'm
plugging for it...

The big problem is MRW couples to its own little server.

I ended up using a wiki written in AWK

http://www.awk-scripting.de/cgi/wiki.cgi/yawk/00-WikiIndex

Everybody stop writing new Wikis!! Except me!!

I also read somewheres that MiniRubyWiki had some security concerns do
to use of evals in the source code, but didn't dig into it that much.

That was me - it's simply because I disregarded security, while adding
features that let users author Ruby code inside MRW pages. However, someone
once told me they turned on Ruby's built-in taint checking, and it locked
down that loophole.

A nice tool! Thanks for providing it. I use it on memory-constrained
devices like my Zaurus. So it is easy to have my personal
wiki/notebook always with me, and I can sync it with my PC.

In this case it is an advantage that MRW doesn't have many
dependencies and provides its own server.
