Amnesty International GermanyAttach:amnesty_germany_groupshot.jpg Amnesty International Germany is using pmwiki in various ways within the organization successfully for the last three years. It is in use on about 100 websites of regional groups of activists. The organization therefor created an easy to install package that is also easy to maintain. This preconfigured package is updated every few weeks and has seen many updates by now. It cherrypicked recipes that are very useful for regional activists. The weblayout was designed by a professional design agency and implemented for pmwiki by volunteer activists. Moreover pmwiki is used for the administration of the annual meeting of the whole organization in Germany.
A.M.O.K. Amok is an informal artists-run workshop, hackerspace & gallery based in Aarhus, Denmark. ApfelWiki.de Attach:ApfelWikiSShot.png
Apfelwiki is a german project trying to build up a reference about working with Apple Computer like a large FAQ. The only way to let the user create their own pages was a wiki. But we won't have the same "old fashioned" wiki-look. So we decided to take pmwiki. It's a powerful wiki and with css we made a modern layout. Last but not least pmwiki is very easy to handle.
Association pour les échanges non-marchands et la culture libre (ANOMALI) Anomali is a non profit organization which promotes non market economy and free culture. We developed a tool for network exchange with pmwiki.

Bendigo Gliding Club (http://www.bendigogliding.org.au)  Bendigo Gliding Club is a small community based gliding club in Victoria, Australia. Most of the club members are tech savvy spending all manner of time paying with fancy flying electronics and flight loggers, however, HTML, Javascript and web editing is a very different technical domain! PmWiki was the ideal solution for the club. It offered simple editing, version control and the ability to implement a password protected “members only” section. The key to PmWiki’s success is its separation of simplicity and power – that is power to the administrator and simplicity for the content authors. The administrators (the ones needing the power) are the tech guys at PaperCut Software who were kind enough to donate their server resources and time, and the authors are the “simpler” guys at the gliding club.
bilder-gucken.net (http://www.bilder-gucken.net) Attach:bilder-gucken-net-screen.jpg This german website is about my offer of tarot readings. It is aimed at customers interested in getting a reading as well as people who wish to study the art and seek instructions. There is a list of services and a collection of my texts on tarot and divination. The site uses a slightly customized Not so simple? skin. I'm using a wiki because I want to be able to easily update the site from everywhere. I selected PmWiki for it's great maintainability, it's small footprint and because it's really easy to customize. It was a breeze to set up all the features I want on the site. Thank you, Pm, for your work and thank you everyone for your contributions!
binaervarianz Kletterwiki http://klettern.binaervarianz.de  This german wiki focuses on sports- and mountain-climbing and adresses beginners as well as anyone interested in climbing at all. It lists and reviews climbing spots and halls in Germany and offers a place to meet and share experiences. We used a wiki in general to be able to make adjustments to the pages even "on the road" from every computer without much effort or even html-knowledge. Also, as an open wiki, everybody should be able to add content to the site without worrying about how to do so. PMWiki was a slim and elegant way to get this, and we used it before as part of our main page http://www.binaervarianz.de.

Campusradio Jena - the local radio stations for the inhabitants of Jena produced by well motiated students  This website was created with the purpose to be easy maintain, migrate and to add the possibility to provide quickly new updates. This stub of the page was created with the blueprint css framework so the appearance is nearly the same in most browsers out there. Another important think was the integration of the mp3-files: For that I used the great Flash Media Player recipe?. Of course, there are several other usefull recipes which are in usage: Other things like webcam or playlist were directly integrated via plain html because the technology for this was already present MatthiasGünther?

DST Output: Customer Systems
We've started using PmWiki to do organic documentation generation. It's been very useful in allowing a largish group of individuals to contribute to living documents. The benefit is that the live documentation is always up-to-date and no changes are ever lost, unlike email chains and word docs.
Online Dutch Grammar Course
Dutchgrammar.com is a website for people who are studying Dutch. It has a grammar reference, exercises, audio files, a Learn Dutch podcast, and a forum. I wrote the original grammar reference in English and Dutch learners have been translating the pages into their own languages. I used to receive text documents, which took me ages to process. PmWiki made everything wonderfully easy. Translators can now log in and translate the pages without my intervention. I think PmWiki is a great CMS.
The tutorial for translators can be found here

FSR - The page for computer science students of Friedrich-Schiller University Jena
The site (http://users.minet.uni-jena.de/~fsrinfo) was recreated with pmwiki, cause the admin of the old site was away and no one knew, how to handle with a cms like joomla. So we use the power of pmwiki to build a good looking , which is easy to upkeep and which is very easy to explain to other people, who will take over the work of the site.
We're using the severall recipes: TOC?, SectionEdit?, Simple Tables?, wiki to pdf?, Flash?, ...
So far we easily implemented embedding youtube-videos, rss-feeds and other features of the modern network. Cause of the active community there will be also in the near future further extensions for the site and is so automatically up to date.
Cause of the simplification in building content with pmwiki, I could convince (and motivate) my fellow students of the FSR to work with the system.
The only thing pmwiki is not good for, is a forum. So we use Simple Machines Forum.
GASSI-TV
GASSI-TV (http://gassi-tv.de) is the German pet-themed web tv station. We recently changed from Wordpress to PmWiki to benefit from PmWiki's open architecture and easy customization. With the relaunch of the new PmWiki-based website the pageviews (per day) have more than quadrupled.
The current GASSI-TV website is entirely in German, though an English version is planned.
In mid 2011 the PmWiki based site was relaunched to accomodate HTML5-capable video and OpenX adverts. Originally it was discussed to switch to Drupal for this relaunch, but it was just faster and easier to do that in PmWiki.
I started a pmwiki some years ago as my personal knowlege base. Some groups and fields are open for sharing different kind of things like linux and open source knowledge. There is also a ABC-music notation documentation mainly in german, where music examples and pdf's are created "on the fly". There is a nice choral collection of ABC notated choral music. Sheets and SATP-midis+mp3s are generated also server sided. Links to my other wikis from http://go4linux.ch.
I also use pmwiki for maintaining my own projects and documentation. I wrote a small xclip based script which can be used to execute every command from a pmwiki or text page (tomboy Notes).
Apart from that, pmwiki is an excellent tool for developing websites.
GPSinIndia.com!
Started this site as a small project to share our knowledge with others. Chose pmwiki because of simplicity and ease of install. Now, it has become a full-fledge commercial venture supporting thousands of users and pmwiki has scaled beautifully.

Student network website. (Kortrijk, Belgium)
A Finnish wiki on innovation journalism, a new journalistic genre that is about the Future Work of society.
When change has become almost the only constant in society, also journalism must become journalism of change. The top-down approach must be turned upside down so that a true citizen society will emerge.
PmWiki is ideally suited for development of this kind of a site. The wiki-functionalities are used in pwd-protected projects by various groups. I am especially happy about the easy adaptability of Patrick Michaud's PmWiki program. I continually add new things to the site and take away old things, and it can usually be done in a few seconds. Just try it!

Low Temperature and Superconductivity Laboratory (LBTS) at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), Spain
We migrated to PmWiki our main website abandoning other authoring packages which, though commercial and widely used, did not provide us the trouble-free experience that PmWiki delivers. Our University has rather strict style guidelines for the visual appearance of departmental webs, and so we were pleased to discover how easy and flexible is to customize PmWiki's appearance. We are also delighted with the reasonably direct support of mathematical formulas, greek letters, accented characters... and how all the formatings look automagically OK in all browsers. Now that's trouble-free! Our site is designed to not appear as a wiki to outside visitors, with the edit access (restricted to lab members) provided as a line of "administration" links at the bottom of the site; this is virtually unnoticed by outside visitors, yet is comfortably found by the lab people.
Other sites of our university have migrated to PmWiki after this successful experience, using similar templates, including some departmental sites, master degree sites, student wiki sites, research group sites like these ones, etc.

LinksBoks Project Homepage
I used PmWiki about 1 year ago to create the "official" homepage of my pet project, a port of the Links browser to the Xbox console. I kept the design simple without too much CSS because the site had to render fine on the actual browser :)
PmWiki was great for this task, but I had to lock out editing and make a dedicated section for that, because of a few smart 12 year olds who wouldn't stop defacing the pages with obscene stuff. Other than that, no problems at all. I altered the Page History layout a little to avoid CSS.

I used to run wordpress but I found that it was chunky and was hard to keep project logs and static pages updated. A good friend of mine showed me PmWiki and I decided to give it a try. I have to say this is the smoothest running website I have ever maintained. Defiantly going to use PmWiki for future sites.

Matrioszka (Polish for «matryoshka») is a website about Russia, Russian language and culture intended for Polish audience. It is my personal, not-for-profit project I started in 2005 when, after returning from Moscow, I found out that there is no decent source of such information and a niché exists. Originally, I used Mambo (now Joomla, I suppose) as the CMS backend, which I even ported to PostgreSQL at that time, but was unsatisfied with the outcome (it worked fine but there was too much hassle with editing -- it's an interface issue).
My goal for Matrioszka is not just to create a place where I can put some articles I wrote, but rather to provide a platform where other people can write too and be reasonably credited for this. To facilitate editing and increase flexibility I have ported Matrioszka to PmWiki.
From the technical side, which probably interests you the most, Matrioszka is not a single website but a WikiFarm that also hosts my other sites, ie. my homepage, a website about Lviv, and some other one too at the moment, and can be easily extended to more in the future -- it is as simple as issuing an mkdir sites/www.example.com/ and creating a local/config.php in this directory. The site-dependent config.php file has virtually just a few lines, as most stuff is configured site-wide in farmconfig.php, extconfig.php (loads extensions, included from the site config.php), and i18n.LN.php which contains all the language-dependent stuff (LN stands for language, currently en or pl).
All of this is possible thanks to PmWiki's excellent flexibility (virtually no need to modify the core code, except removing inline CSS and customizing the error message). Apache's mod_rewrite is also involved. The Cookbook extensions used are: Beautifier (not really needed at the moment), CommentBoxPlus, MarkupExtensions, Flash (again, not in use now), Cookbook:LinkTitles, MediaCat, MergeMetaTags (disabled for now, not working), PageToc, SearchHighLight (originally not Unicode-clear, but I implemented a lame fix), UserAuth, PresenceAwarenessLight (turned off for now), RandomQuote and ViewModes.
I have also rewritten the VisitorsLogging script for use on this page. Piotr Szczepanski?
Media Revolution in Early Modern Europe (http://faculty.valpo.edu/mlundin/mediarevolution)
This is my first use of a wiki in a classroom seeting, and PmWiki has made the experience a breeze. So far, PmWiki (and its eclectic collection of recipes) has enabled me expand the website as classroom needs have changed. Some of the features (and related recipes) include:
In short, PmWiki is a complete wiki plus a powerful CMS for classroom contexts. It's far more flexible and robust than the proprietary software offered by many university IT departments.
I do hope that the next release of PmWiki will contain built-in blogging tools. To combine the ease of blog content management (and the social networking potential of a blog) with the slow, cumulative growth of a wiki -- now that would be a powerful tool! Wikis are still on the cutting edge -- in many ways, all those fancy Web 2.0 apps are still catching up. But the more PmWiki can be integrated with existing social web tools and methods, the more people will come to see the power of wikis.

Site de la mobilisation à l'Université Montpellier 2, contre la LRU et la casse du service public d'enseignement et de recherche en France (printemps 2009) This wiki deals with the struggle against the laws destroying the education and the research as a public service in France, this is the local website for the organisation of the struggle in the University of Montpellier 2. the skin is a minor modification of the default skin (recent changes have been put in the sidebar, there is no image,...). By the way, there is a little problem with the french internationalization i18n-fr.zip since the files for PmWikiFr are not in UTF-8, so you will have to use iconv (otherwise the accents are not well displayed).

NetWiki is a dual-purpose wiki, acting as an open repository of information about network science, including shared codes and data, while also serving as the central online point for some ongoing collaborations applying networks concepts to different problems. It was relatively simple to set up, even with some difficulties navigating details of the server here, while being wonderfully easy to add content to and to maintain, particularly with the wide assortment of cookbooks available.

Here at PaperCut Software we use PmWiki as our support knowledge base for our print quota product. A knowledge base by nature is constantly changing - information is always being added, removed or changed. Out of the many different wiki and CMS systems around, we chose PmWiki for its powerful simplicity. It was dead easy to set up and is easy to maintain. Since then (Aug 2004) adding new content to our knowledge base has been a breeze. It looks good and integrates nicely with our site.
The Paranormal Journal, a site that offers a peer-reviewing of all articles related to the paranormal, started off on another Wiki software. When the performance degraded to the point of a 20-second load-time, PmWiki came to save the day. It was up and running in a day, using the EnableHTML, the built-in AuthUser, HtpasswdForm, NewpageBox+, Discussion Tab, SectionEdit, and the Monobook recipes, we were able to replicate 99.9% of the other wiki software's functionality that our authors came to expect. The other 0.1% of functionality will probably pop up and slap me in the face, because I'm sure it's already there; I just haven't found it yet.
One or more persons during a certain period drop their usual motives for movement and action, their relations, their work and leisure activities, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there.

PmWiki is awesome!
My name is Ian MacGregor?. I installed PmWiki for an in-house network (Linux machines) and I have found PmWiki to be the best suited wiki for my purpose. I have also installed PmWiki on my website. PmWiki installation was quick and easy and allows me to have a powerful yet very user-friendly wiki without all the hassle of some other wiki's that are out there. PmWiki is easy to use and its text formatting rules are easy to learn. Couple that with skinning ability, add-ons, security, a search facility and more and you've got one great wiki. Thank you Pm!

Preservation-Ready Sites Buffalo is an online resource for the local historic preservation community in Buffalo, New York USA. We were looking to publish a crowd-sourced online database of buildings and other structures of preservation interest - mostly those at risk of demolition or damage, but also historic preservation defeats and current success stories.
Good access to accurate, fact-based information is a powerful tool for activism. The primary goal of the website is to create a consistent, up-to-date resource for individual structures, with each database record/page based on verifiable facts presented in an easily accessed framework.
Wiki software looked most promising as a platform, mostly for its crowd-sourcing features. After trying MediaWiki and finding it extremely powerful but hard to develop and manage, we chose PmWiki for its simplicity, flexibility, rock-solid design and maturity, and because the primary site developer was intimately familiar with its workings.
Attach:ForThePmWikiSite2.gif
We launched the site on January 1, 2013. As of September 2017 it contains nearly 1,900 pages, each containing information on a specific structure. It's growing slowly but steadily. Local preservationists have found the site useful, mostly so any building of concern has a "home on the web" where anyone can access current, factual information.
We're using the following Cookbook recipes:
We make sure to have each building's page conform to a template, with consistent and predictable content and markup. We're making extensive use of pagelists to present information based on the site's categories. As we've learned more about pagelists, page variables, includes, group headers and footers and the nuances of namespaces, we're able to semi-automatically create varied and complex pages with useful pagelist displays, all without a lot of work (except at the beginning).
PmWiki's a winner as Version 1.0 of this project and has performed flawlessly. We'll be looking at more robust database-driven development for Version 2.0, mostly because we're identifying desired features beyond the scope of PmWiki (or probably any wiki software), such as heavy incorporation of mapping/GIS, more complex querying and more advanced styling and display.
We originally planned to have lots of authors and editors, but have found even the straightforward PmWiki markup to be too big a hurdle for most of our audience. Luckily, a couple of us are database guys from way back and really enjoy working with markup, consistent page structure and a bit of PmWiki-style coding, and we're making the progress we were hoping for when we started.
We'd be glad to share more of this experience with anyone who's interested. Just email us at webmaster@preservationready.org.

The Qdig Web Site has been running PmWiki as a lightweight Content Management System (CMS) since April, 2004. The PmWiki-based design has made the site more attractive and easier to use than it was previously. The site is easy to maintain, so the content can be updated frequently. Supporting Qdig is also easier now that commonly-explained topics (like this one) can be given their own web pages. -ProfilesHF?

This was a monster website for 2007, and it's time to get moving on the 2008 conference features, which will be better than last year's. Using hidden data, PmForm -- or was it Zap back then?, and dynamic content generation, pagelists, and much more, a dynamic site was born where presenters were linked to their breakouts, the day's breakout schedule was dynamically generated, etc. See the 2007 website archive for more....100% PmWiki flatfiles -- no MySQL.
This site is a photo gallery of my hometown Radom. I decided to choose PmWiki because it fits my needs perfectly. Each photo has own page with links to subject description and articles can be easily linked.

PmWiki has proved to be a solid foundation for this site.

TAMU-CC Professor says yea PmWiki!
If you go to my teaching site http://critical.tamucc.edu/~loudermilk , you will see that beyond the first page my entire site is on PmWiki. (And I will soon be converting the first page as well.) Also from my site you can link to the http://falcon.tamucc.edu/wiki/TFCTL/HomePage 21st Century Teaching and Learning website, a Title project that I have been involved in at the university as well. As a teaching tool I can't say enough about PmWiki. Since I began using PmWiki, Patrick has conducted numerouse workshops for faculty/staff at our university and the use of PmWiki in other classes has really grown. PmWiki is a powerful tool for creating more interactive learning opportunities. Thanks Patrick! -- Susan Loudermilk

PmWiki really wins out with it's ease of installation, and ease and flexibility by which it can be customized. Totally text based (no DB), it's quick and simple to setup.

University of Minnesota Libraries Staff
We found that our old staff web site (largely developed in HTML, often with DreamWeaver to construct pages) was getting stale. Nobody was in charge of the site and those of our staff with HTML skills were swamped enough that changes were slow to appear. We decided to try a wiki in an effort to get more staff involved in the editing and maintenance of the site. We also felt a wiki could help us enforce a template on the site. After flirting with twiki, we chose PmWiki because of its clear philosophy, clear documentation, and active user community. PmWiki has been a joy to work with.

First of all, it saves me the work of writing a lot of PHP code and second of all, it prevents me from being the bottleneck for getting content up online.

wiki.rowi.net (http://wiki.rowi.net)
A long time I coded html and PHP myself. Editing with vi after logging in with a secure shell was not a quick thing to put some new ideas to a web place. So I found PMWiki for putting my ideas and knowledge to my own webserver just by using the browser. It was (and is) a pleasure to have a handy tool for getting ideas, knowledge and more into a webbased system. Then, somebody of my german Volkswagen Scirocco Forum (http://www.sciroccoforum.de) told me that he would like to put a Scirocco knowlege base to the web. Well, PMWiki could do this and now there are nearly 4000 people coming from the forum who are able to edit all the details about this car. Nevertheless, I'm writing tips and hints to the wiki for all things of life like SecondLife, GPS systems, VoIP and much more. It's a source for all information I have in mind or maybe should remember of.

There is much docu about every aspect of it. You can easily contribute, just click on the edit button here and change the content. If you want to create your own template - feel free to do so. There is an great community out here and if you want to write a recipe just do it right. Don't hesitate to ask something on the mailing lists you will get answers to your questions and great feedback.

Words2u (www.words2u.net)
Words2u.net started as and is mainly a Costa Rica GPS wiki. The original intention was to have a section of my own data, and another for user content. As it happened, my personal part grew from tracks, bus routes and points of interest in Costa Rica, to include some trails outside the country, and the users have not contributed that much. Still, this is a collection of GPS data for Costa Rica that has no known parallel.
PmWiki helped me customize my content presentation, control access to it for writing and sometimes for reading as well. It is an outstanding program with lot of community support. I had questions answered within hours or even minutes, and was able to solve any glitch very quickly. PmWiki is easy to install, customize and maintain, has a small footprint and runs solidly even on less powerful computers. It has not crashed once since I started using it, and it responds extremely fast and renders correctly on any browser I can think of.
I am so impressed with PmWiki that I now converted to a wiki farm. I created my Food and Recipe wiki and put my recipe collection (among other things) on the site for use in the kitchen. I am currently working on a Spanish language wiki,and I intend to add more wikis as time permits.

I'd just like to rave about what a beautiful piece of code PmWiki is. I'm only just beginning to realise the power of it, and the learning curve, from installing recipes, through fiddling with the CSSes and templates, to finally coding my own solutions with directives or from scratch, has been downhill all the way. That's the hallmark of an architecture that Einstein would have liked: as simple as possible but no simpler. Thanks for being gifted!
