PmWiki is a
WikiWikiWeb clone developed by
PatrickMichaud in the PHP scripting language.
PmWiki has been primarily designed as a tool to support easy, collaborative authoring and maintenance of web sites.
PmWiki is distributed under the General Public License (GPL).
Pages created in

- Easy to set up
- Automatic linking between pages, including WikiWord links and free links
- Password-protect pages to restrict viewing or editing
- Ability to organize pages into WikiGroups, with headers and access controls shared among the pages in the group

- WikiTrails to easily create sequences of links throughout pages
- File uploads and attachments
- Markup includes standard (classic) wiki markup, floating images, tables, large sections of preformatted text, colored text and WikiStyles
- Site administrators can easily add customized markup sequences
