history

Instiki was developed in 2004 by David Heinemeier Hansson , who is best known for developing the Ruby on Rails framework . From version 0.9.1, development was handed over to Alexey Verkhovsky , who was maintainer for the well-known wiki software up to version 0.11. Matthias Tarasiewicz and the 5uper.net group have been responsible for further development since January 2007 . The Ruby on Rails site wiki uses a modified version of Instiki, a 0.9 fork called i2 .
