PmWiki
Wiki-based system for collaborative creation and maintenance of websites.
Developed outside the platforms our data source measures, so there is no activity history to score. This says nothing about the project — many unrated projects are actively maintained.

Not available for this project. Our source collects commit history from GitHub only, and PmWiki is developed elsewhere.

Is PmWiki actively maintained?
We cannot measure this one. PmWiki is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at www.pmwiki.org — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.
Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.
What PmWiki actually does
PmWiki is a wiki-based system designed for the collaborative creation and maintenance of websites. It provides a structured environment where multiple contributors can author, edit, and organise web pages over a network. As a content management tool in the wiki category, it focuses on simple page linking and markup editing.
Best fit: It is a suitable choice if you need a lightweight, text-centric wiki for collaborative documentation without the complexity of a large database backend.
Worth knowing: The lack of recent release data and recorded commit activity suggests you should carefully evaluate its long-term maintenance status and potential security patch availability before adopting it for critical projects.
Deployment notes
Because it is built with PHP, you will typically need a standard web server like Nginx or Apache configured with a PHP runtime. Persistent storage is required for saving page data, though many setups in this category operate using flat files rather than requiring a separate SQL database.
