Hi, I'm interested in using Google App Engine to host a wiki. I've already seen the question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/478760/what-cms-runs-on-google-app-engine about what's a good cms. That's really too broad for me. On my LAMP server I run dokuwiki and I'd really like something akin for the GAppEngine.

Anyone know of something already developed or in development?

Thanks, Grant

tiddlyweb - is the best wiki for App Engine that I've found.

Here are it's demos:

Quercus is a Java implementation of PHP, and the GAE community has been buzzing over using it to host existing PHP applications via GAE. In fact, there is a wiki entry on DokuWiki running on Quercus; in short, it says to install Quercus and then install & use DokuWiki like normal. Sounds like it'll be a piece of cake if you're comfortable with GAE!

By the way, I have some interest in this as well, but it's not at the top of my todo list at the moment. If you do implement dokuwiki on GAE please comment and let me know how it goes!

I would love to run DokuWiki on GAE but from what I understand, you can't do local file IO. You have to use GQL as the persistent data store. I think this makes DokuWiki infeasible but I would like to be corrected.

Ah, good point; that wiki page doesn't mention GAE and it looks like you are right. If you were very determined, you could potentially rewrite Quercus's file IO classes to use GQL, since Quercus is open source.
