Gorytina

Gorytina is a defunct open-source wiki software written in PHP. It was known for its relatively small codebase and ease of installation, making it a popular choice for simple, personal wikis. Gorytina used a flat-file database, meaning it didn't require a dedicated database server like MySQL or PostgreSQL. Content was stored in simple text files, which contributed to its lightweight nature.

The software supported basic wiki features such as page creation, editing, linking, and a simple search function. It also offered some level of customization through CSS styling and template modification. Despite its simplicity, Gorytina was generally considered a functional and reliable wiki engine for small-scale projects.

Development of Gorytina ceased many years ago, and the software is no longer actively maintained. Modern users seeking a flat-file wiki solution may find more actively developed and feature-rich alternatives.

Key characteristics of Gorytina included:

• Flat-file database: No database server required.
• PHP-based: Simple installation on PHP-enabled web servers.
• Lightweight: Small codebase and minimal resource requirements.
• Basic wiki functionality: Page creation, editing, linking, searching.
• Customizable: CSS styling and template modification.

Due to its age and lack of active maintenance, using Gorytina in a production environment is not recommended due to potential security vulnerabilities and compatibility issues with modern PHP versions.
