Gitit is a wiki program written in Haskell that uses Happstack as its web server and pandoc for markup processing. Pages and uploaded files are stored in a git, darcs, or mercurial repository, editable via the web interface or VCS command-line tools.

Use cases

• self-host a wiki backed by git version control
• edit wiki pages with markdown or other markup languages
• render TeX math and syntax-highlighted code in documentation
• manage wiki content directly with git command-line tools
• embed a wiki into an existing Happstack Haskell application
• publish Atom feeds for site-wide or per-page changes

When to choose

• you want a version-controlled wiki editable via git/darcs/mercurial
• you need pandoc's wide markup support including LaTeX, reStructuredText, and Org-mode
• you prefer a lightweight self-hosted wiki in Haskell
• you want to integrate a wiki into a Happstack application

When to avoid

• you need a modern wiki with rich WYSIWYG editing
• you want a wiki with a large plugin ecosystem or active community
• you prefer not to install Haskell toolchain dependencies
• you need enterprise features like fine-grained access control out of the box
