gollark: > it seems like you're talking more about an API?Yes, I think the ability to do that might be more useful to (some) external services than having UI in Athens itself.> Dokuwiki does seem interesting thoughIt's a pretty good selfhosted wiki engine. It doesn't have knowledge-graph-y features because it was mostly made before that became a topic of interest, but does have... search, links, somewhat okay formatting, and many plugins. I currently run an instance because it seemed the best available stable thing when I was setting up things and it is quite hard to migrate now.
