     * Typesetter CMS: https://github.com/Typesetter/Typesetter Very nice, multi-user, great UI for page design, cool templates. It used to have its own website, but that looks to be abandoned, leaving the github page. You may need look at the PHP 5.1 update fork...
     * GetSimple CMS: https://getsimple-ce.ovh/ Very straightforward. Single admin user. Looks bulletproof
-    * Flatpress CMS: https://www.flatpress.org/ A flat-file verison of wordpress that you can set up in your own web folder! Fewer features, but fully yours to control. You can use [[https://wiki.flatpress.org/doc:plugins:bbcode| BBCode]] as markup, or [[https://wiki.flatpress.org/res:plugins:markdown |Markdown]] via plugins if you like. Many templates for your site. Single admin user, though.

+    * PivotX CMS: https://github.com/pivotx A nice flat-file CMS that I have been using since 2016. Active development [[https://web.archive.org/web/20210923190203/http://blog.pivotx.net/2017-03-22/pivotx-development-has-ended | ended in 2017]] but it has been in maintenance mode, and honestly still works quite well. Supports multiple admin users and editors, has lots of (dated, but nice) templates for your site.
    * Wikis
     * DokuWiki: https://dokuwiki.org Used at SDF, right here on this wiki [[start]], and is the front page of https://sdfeu.org It's a fine wiki, easy configuration, re-skinning and extension-adding using the UI Configuration Manager. Has many cool skins, and several decent Responsive Design skins that look good. Has editing buttons to make it so you don't need to know the markup well to use, but also the markup is pretty standardish.
-    * PmWiki:  https://pmwiki.org super low resources (only 5MB on disk!), easy to extend with cookbooks. Lots of skins, but just a handful of Responsive Design skins.  Easy to turn WikiWords back on so it can be a classic quick-to-author wiki experience. Can use Creole markup vs the default, note that pmwiki's native markup is very old school (! and !! for headings, vs <nowiki>==</nowiki>) and likely not what you're used to, but you can turn on editing buttons like dokuwiki has by default, too.
