1.) To expand my own (limited) knowledge of CodeIgnoter
2.) To address concerns put forth by other Wiki software (lack of...)
3.) To develop a piece of software that is as simple to install as, say.. DokuWiki or even TurdPress (Sorry. WordPress). (And even dokuwiki isn't that easy to get going if you aren't familiar with how file permissions work).
For the most part, wiki software is extremely difficult to install. MediaWiki is a huge pain, PHPWiki is a poorly written clod of software that doesn't even work in many cases, etc.
DokuWiki is purely file-based, which in fine in most situations, but in general (code-wise) it's easier to deal with a database for datastorage/retrieval.
As much as I hate reinventing the wheel, this wheel seems to be square. I'd like to round the edges a bit.
