## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application

- function: web-framework, templating, plugin-system, documentation, markdown, pdf, search-engine, caching
- domain: documentation, web-development, self-hosted, version-control, developer-tools
