in reply to Ideas to Create a wiki page using a script

  1. Learn how HTML, HTTP etc work, if you haven't already. (In particular, HTML forms)
  2. Figure out how your favourite library/framework abstracts it
  3. Ask the user for a page name. If the page does not exist, give him a blank text box to edit
    • When the user submits, save the web page onto the server (into a file or a database)
  4. If the user wishes to edit an already-existing page, give him a text box with the page's content pre-filled
    • Consider storing the previous revision(s) of the page when the user submits an edit
  5. Think about enhancing the syntax with a markup language such as Textile or Markdown.

    6. And that's about it.
