DirDir - A directory-oriented WikiWiki ====================================== DirDir is the next generation [diri wiki](http://repo.cat-v.org/diri/), now implemented on top of wercand taking advantage of its user, site management frameworks and other infrastructure. Features ======== DirDir is still somewhat experimental, but already all features diri had, plus some extras thanks to werc's power: * Hierarchical organization. * Markdown formatting. * Easily customizable templates * Simple and fine grained user permisions system. * Completely database free. * All needed to setup diridiri is to set a flag in your _werc/config file. * Automatically wiki-fy existing werc documents. * Implemented in about two dozen lines of rc scripts. Status ====== Mostly usable, all basic features already implemented in the latest werc source tree. About the name ============== DirDir is a pun on its predecessor diri and WikiWiki, and [Dirdir is also the title of a novel](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0879974788?ie=UTF8&tag=catv-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0879974788) by science fiction and literature grand master [Jack Vance](http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26redirect%3Dtrue%26search-type%3Dss%26index%3Dbooks%26ref%3Dntt%255Fathr%255Fdp%255Fsr%255F1%26field-author%3DJack%2520Vance&tag=catv-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=39095).
