It’s done! A simple wiki, for a simple protocol: Gemini Wiki. Visit the demo wiki.

Written in about 1000 lines of Perl code. From the documentation:

This server serves a wiki as a Gemini site.

It does two things:

• It’s a program that you run on a computer and other people connect to it using their client in order to read the pages on it.
• It’s a wiki, which means that people can edit the pages without needing an account. All they need is a client that speaks both Gemini and Titan, and the password. The default password is “hello”. 😃

How do you edit a Gemini Wiki?

You need to use a Titan-enabled client.

Known clients:

• Gemini Write is an extension for the Emacs Gopher and Gemini client Elpher
• Gemini & Titan for Bash are two shell functions that allow you to download and upload files

=> Gemini Write | Elpher | Gemini & Titan for Bash

What is Titan?

Titan is a companion protocol to Gemini: it allows clients to upload files to Gemini sites, if servers allow this. Gemini Wiki, you can edit the “raw” pages. That is, at the bottom of a page you’ll see a link to the “raw” page. If you follow it, you’ll see the page content as plain text. You can submit a changed version of this text to the same URL using Titan. There is more information for developers available on Community Wiki.
