Welcome to Wiki on a Stick!

Wiki on a Stick (in short WoaS) is a wiki that lives in one self-modifying XHTML file. It's perfect to be used at home or at office, on your laptop or USB pen drive (along with Portable Firefox if you want) and even in a floppy disk! It can be used as a personal notepad, calendar, repository for software documentation and many other things; it allows full customization and extension by your own scripts or libraries. It also offers true AES encryption of pages.

Wiki on a Stick can always be downloaded through the official SF.net WoaS project file download service:

You can use the official WoaS forums and/or the SF.net WoaS project facilities.

Just click on the pencil icon at the top and start editing! You can also double click anywhere on the text to edit (if this option is enabled from Special::Options), and you can use the escape key to cancel editing or to go backward.

When you're done editing, click on the disk icon to save.

WoaS is a client-side application, you cannot use it on a remote server; your changes will be permanent only if the file you're editing is on your own disk. The first time you run, the browser will ask for permission to save data on disk - you should grant that permission, so that the file can modify itself on your disk.

You are invited to read the following pages to know more about WoaS:

1. Syntax
2. Feature::Summary
3. Options

When finished, you can proceed to erase all pages and start from a clean WoaS.
