I have a wiki in ruby that's almost complete (and has some overworked
parts in it :) ).  Some of the code is not very beautiful but we have
been running it at work for over half a year.  I should just need to add
the missing parts and make a relase of it and it should be usable.  I
think it supports everything usemod does (including InterWiki stuff).
And it also has some extra features I haven't seen in any other wiki. It
uses RCS for storage but the storage is a separate class so it should be
easy to change.
