This stores articles in a wiki in Markdown format as files on a local filesystem, enabling:
- portability. Any ascii text editor can read the files. One goal of the system is that I can still read the files if the software isn't set up (e.g. if installing on a new box).
- longevity. Python, Flask and Markdown are not going away any time soon. Even if they do, the files can still be read.
- privacy. The files are never transmitted across the network. This is also a disadvantage, of course :-).
It's basically a meta wiki in that it uses the same html file as the database. So you get wiki features in a single file. It does have a helper jar to work around browser security around file access.
