Mikiwedia is a negatively-priced 'wiki' and structured website generator that enables small groups to create structured information websites. The primary difference between this wiki and other content management systems, is that it outputs a static HTML website, and doesn't use MySQL. Theoretically, after creation, the PHP code can then be removed or disabled, to promote security. Or, the HTML can be moved to a free or very secure website.

Other wikis and content management systems have a few problems

<ul>
-They continue to look like the iBloat product you downloaded, because you know that any effort you put into design will be wasted by the next soul destroying upgrade.
-They can look confusing and unstructured.
-They need expert management, security updates and MySQL database repairs when your cheapskate hosting solution borks on you.
-You lose control over innovation, because you aren't sure what you can touch.
-They have a simple language that is not user-extensible.
-They depend on open sourced PHP code to serve the content dynamically, so can be sabotaged dynamically.
-You can't relocate the whole site onto your hard disk.
</ul>

These problems have obviously been solved in Mikiwedia, or I wouldn't mention them. (Naturally, I'm hiding anything that I unsolved.)

Mikiwedia is an information website generator (written in PHP), designed for individual or small group access.Individuals typically use arbitrary products to put up hobby websites, but they usually lack discipline because they get new design ideas on each page, and can't be bothered updating the other pages. Management of the site becomes impossible, if handed to someone else.

Mikiwedia manages
<ul>
-the menu system,
-image and document tracking,
-thumbnails,
-page linking and document structure
-browser compatibility
</ul>
It keeps you focused on content (assuming you have any).

The micro formatting of text, bars, images, boxes and quotes is achieved by a few "macro" functions, which need to be learned at your leisure. You can write pages without them, but they will probably look like rubbish.
About 6 macros have been used to perpetrate this page. You can see them by pressing on the small, unthreatening, Miki icon at the foot of this page. Like all wikis, you can steal other people's cool stuff, to use it on your page.
