It's unfortunate.  Instiki used to be a 'no-brainer' to setup.  It may
not have been the most feature-ful wiki out there, but for internal
and personal use it was great.  Now I think they've built it on Rails
and I think that seems to be overkill - at any rate, it's no longer so
easy to setup and use.

You might want to try to find an older version of Instiki that isn't
based on Rails.  I wonder if the older, pre-Rails Instiki could be
revived and maintained as a completely seperate project.
