'''DokuWiki''' is a free open-source wiki application designed to meet small companies' documentation needs. DokuWiki stores all pages on plain text files and thus needs no database.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://archive09.linux.com/feature/138888 |title=DokuWiki: An elegant and lightweight wiki engine |author=Popov, Dmitri |publisher=Linux.com |date=25 June 2008 |accessdate=5 April 2012}}</ref> Its syntax is similar to the one used by [[MediaWiki]].

==Product history==

DokuWiki was started by Andreas Gohr in June 2004.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.freelists.org/archives/dokuwiki/12-2006/msg00105.html |title=[dokuwiki] Re: Infos for Wikipedia |author=Gohr, Andreas |publisher=FreeLists |date=24 December 2006 |accessdate=5 April 2012}}</ref> On July 4 the first official release was published on Freshmeat (now known as Freecode).<ref>{{cite web |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20060414081557/http://freshmeat.net/projects/dokuwiki/ |url=http://freshmeat.net/projects/dokuwiki/ |title=freshmeat.net: Project details for DokuWiki |publisher=Freshmeat |archivedate=14 April 2006 |date=9 March 2006 |accessdate=5 April 2012}}</ref>

A big step in the development was the re-design of the parser and the renderer for the May 7, 2005 release.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://freecode.com/projects/dokuwiki/releases/195535 |title=Version 2005-05-07 of DokuWiki |publisher=Freecode |date=7 May 2005 |accessdate=5 April 2012}}</ref> The new design was a big performance improvement and made DokuWiki usable for bigger documentation projects. It also prepared DokuWiki for an introduction of a generic plug-in interface which simplified the development and maintenance of add-ons. The awareness level of DokuWiki increased with the introduction of DokuWiki in the Linux distributions Debian in April 2005<ref>{{cite web |url=http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/d/dokuwiki/dokuwiki_0.0.20080505-4+lenny4/changelog.html#version0.0.20050218-1 |title=Debian Changelog dokuwiki (0.0.20080505-4+lenny4) |publisher=Software in the Public Interest |accessdate=5 April 2012}}</ref> and Gentoo Linux in July 2005.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/www-apps/dokuwiki/ChangeLog?r1=1.47&r2=1.48&diff_format=s |title=Diff of /www-apps/dokuwiki/ChangeLog |publisher=Gentoo Foundation |accessdate=5 April 2012}}</ref>

Releases were limited in 2010 and 2011, with only one each year; however, both were considered to be major releases with several new features, including jQuery support.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://freecode.com/projects/dokuwiki/releases?page=1 |title=All releases of DokuWiki |publisher=Freecode |accessdate=5 April 2012}}</ref>
