==== What is Geeki Geeki? ====

GeekiGeeki is a minimalistic wiki with a  [[http://git.or.cz/ | git]] backend,
a high features/complexity ratio and a clean syntax similar to WikiCreole.

Check the EditingTips to get an idea the supported wiki syntax.

GeekiGeeki is yet another fork of PikiWiki, like MoinMoin, and it is written
in Python.
