Unfortunately there is a step 3 with this release: check out insticki.rb
from cvs because it’s not included in the download.

DOH!
That’s what you get releasing software in the middle of the night with
a cocky attitude :). It’s all better now. Even includes a zip package
for the unix-challenged.

Great, it works now and is looking good at first sight. Unfortunately
there’s a nasty problem when I try this on Windows: it starts up alright
(I created a shortcut to the instiki.rb with a port as argument), then I
create and edit some pages, and then I close the cmd-window that was
opened by the shortcut. Next time I try to start up instiki I get the
error from madeleine, that it can’t reload the database (data too
short). So I guess the database doesn’t survive the shutdown.
Otherwise I like the approach taken by you and it is lightning fast! One
suggestion: work with stylesheets in the templates and use them not only
for presenting a wiki-page but also for the list, changes and search
results to get an overall look to it.

Hmmm. The point about Madelein (and prevaylence in general) is that you
should be able to survive any sudden crash thanks to the combination of
command log and snapshots. It sounds like Madelein has a problem on
Windows, then (quick to pass the buck, he is :)). I can’t replicate
that behavior on my OS X machine. Could you see if it happens even if
you send it a nice ctrl-c request to stop?

Right. It’s pretty unpolished. I have had it sitting on my desktop for
six months meaning to clean it up. Never got around to it, so I thought
it would be more use in a published, unpolished form than unpublished
and unpolished :).
I’m most welcome to patches, though. It shouldn’t be a big task to
apply the styles to the templates. They all reside in app/views/wiki.
