Hey Ray? Is the site dead? Or just hugged to death? :) I have MeatballWiki still. I’d like to pass the torch.

  I only just found the site but it indeed looks like it has been hugged to death. I will be looking up meatball wiki in the near future to learn more haha

  I suppose it depends on your needs, but Fossil[0] has a built-in wiki. I've dabbled with some smaller wiki engines (namely AwkiAwki, DidiWiki and Eddie's Wiki), but Fossil's has more features (including page history, of course). [0] https://www.fossil-scm.org/ https://www.fossil-scm.org/

A wiki of wikis reminds me of a list of lists of lists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lists_of_lists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lists_of_lists

  I've created my own list of lists as a pun for that: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/29457 https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/29457
