I kinda miss the days of the early "Wiki Wiki"s. These days, most wikis I encounter are "intranet" ones, serving as some kind of documentation site. Most often using rather heavyweight implementations like MediaWiki that allow for all kinds of hierarchical organization, CMS-like features etc. But in its simplest form, you had just a small sliver of code that allowed you to edit text files that then were rendered as HTML to the user dynamically, the most important "markup" being a translation of WikiWords to hrefs, allowing you to easily link together PageAboutFoo to PageAboutBar. That's it. There were some very minimal implementations that did this with e.g. a few lines of Perl. Everything else is either luxury or bloat.
