Project Overview
OpenWiki Engine is an open-source platform designed to build structured knowledge systems in private and controlled environments.
By avoiding unnecessary abstractions and heavy frameworks, OpenWiki remains transparent, auditable and efficient even on modest hardware.
Philosophy
The engine follows a principle of deliberate simplicity. Every component is designed to be understandable, replaceable and secure by default.
OpenWiki does not depend on third-party services or external APIs, ensuring full autonomy for operators and contributors.
