Features
ikiwiki supports several lightweight markup languages, including Markdown, Creole, reStructuredText and Textile. 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.[2] Login via OpenID is supported.
ikiwiki can be used for maintaining a blog, and includes common blogging functionality such as comments and RSS feeds. The installer includes an option to set up a simple blog at install time.[3]
ikiwiki is included in various Linux distributions, including Debian and Ubuntu.[2]
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, "Ikiwiki has little structured data except for page filenames and tags," so its query functionality is not as advanced or as user-friendly as some other, non-distributed bug trackers such as Bugzilla.[4]
