SHARD-WP-0003 T9 (final). Lineage dive: the flat-file ancestor (Clifford Adams c.2000, from AtisWiki/CvWiki) that early Wikipedia ran on (MediaWiki Phase I). No new capability -- reinforces the minimal flat-file floor (UC-82) and CamelCase linking (UC-25); historical grounding that the file-store floor is the field's common root. Enrichment-only: UC-01/40/25/36/41. Marks T9 done and SHARD-WP-0003 complete (9/9). Feeds SHARD-WP-0002 T11. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# SHARD-WP-0003 — wiki-engine deep-dive batch
|
||
|
||
## Goal
|
||
|
||
Close the remaining coverage gaps in the wiki-engine research set. Each task is one
|
||
**deep dive**: persist a research memo, promote/enrich the use-case catalog, and log any
|
||
adapter-contract architecture notes for `SHARD-WP-0002`. The set was chosen (per the
|
||
2026-06-14 coverage review against `research/260614-shard-spectrum-synthesis/findings.md`)
|
||
to favour engines that promise **genuinely new architecture** over ones that merely
|
||
reinforce existing families, plus the INTENT-named git-forge wikis and four additional
|
||
engines requested for breadth/lineage.
|
||
|
||
Each dive follows the established tradition (cf. the 260613/260614 dives): a
|
||
`research/<yymmdd>-<slug>-deep-dive/` dir with `README.md` + `findings.md`; new UCs and
|
||
enrichments promoted to `spec/UseCaseCatalog.md` (with a per-source mapping subsection,
|
||
traceability rows, and header update); `research/README.md` and `SCOPE.md` updated;
|
||
commit + state-hub sync.
|
||
|
||
## Context
|
||
|
||
- Coverage review: `research/260614-shard-spectrum-synthesis/findings.md` (v2) — the
|
||
shard family matrix and thirteen spectra define what "new insight" means here.
|
||
- Use cases: `spec/UseCaseCatalog.md` (currently UC-26–UC-69 from research).
|
||
- Adapter contract: `workplans/SHARD-WP-0002-federation-architecture.md` (T11–T16) —
|
||
dives that touch the contract feed it; a **re-synthesis** may be warranted after the
|
||
batch (see Acceptance).
|
||
- Prior engine dives: `research/260613-{xwiki,twiki,foswiki}-deep-dive/`,
|
||
`research/260614-wikijs-deep-dive/` (storage-module prior art).
|
||
|
||
**Non-goal:** Implement anything. This workplan produces research + catalog updates only.

## Federated Wiki — federation model (fork / journal / happenings)
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: SHARD-WP-0003-T1
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: high
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "347fa26d-105b-42d1-91f3-67eabfdb8f22"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Deep-dive Ward Cunningham's **Federated Wiki** (Smallest Federated Wiki). Distinctive
|
||
angle: it is a **federation model**, not just a shard — fork-with-provenance, the
|
||
per-page **JSON journal** (ordered actions), the **story** (typed item array), and
|
||
**happenings** (bounded collaborations). This is prior art for shard-wiki's *coordination
|
||
layer itself*, complementing the federation track. Already touched in
|
||
`research/260608-federation-concepts/` §3 — go deeper into the data model and protocol.
|
||
Map to UC-26 (fork), UC-28 (carry-forward), UC-30 (time-bounded space), UC-05/27 (union/
|
||
chorus); feed `SHARD-WP-0002` T1–T5.
|
||
|
||
## Wikibase / Wikidata — RDF entity-statement knowledge graph
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: SHARD-WP-0003-T2
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: high
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "23272f05-556b-4cc7-93b6-4ac3c7277738"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Deep-dive **Wikibase** (the engine behind **Wikidata**). Distinctive angle: an
|
||
**entity-statement (RDF-ish) data model** — items, properties, statements with
|
||
qualifiers and references — plus **SPARQL** query. This is a *new far end* of the
|
||
structure and native-query spectra (beyond Notion's DB / XWiki XObjects): a true typed
|
||
knowledge graph with provenance-bearing statements. Map to/enrich UC-34, UC-58 (typed
|
||
records + relations), UC-52 (native query → SPARQL), UC-24 (statement-level provenance);
|
||
feed `SHARD-WP-0002` T12/T16.
|
||
|
||
## TiddlyWiki — the self-contained single-file wiki
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: SHARD-WP-0003-T3
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: medium
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "a0ab1aba-9aa2-4214-b130-67ba2805e64b"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Deep-dive **TiddlyWiki**. Distinctive angle: an **entire wiki in one self-contained HTML
|
||
file** (tiddlers + the app), the **whole-file write-granularity** anchor already named in
|
||
the synthesis matrix, with TiddlyWeb / Node.js sync variants and a tiddler/field data
|
||
model. The portability/granularity extreme. Enrich UC-35 (write granularity), UC-40
|
||
(file-store), UC-34 (tiddler fields); confirm the single-file shard attach story; feed
|
||
`SHARD-WP-0002` T11/T14.
|
||
|
||
## ikiwiki — compile-to-static, git-backed, distributed peer wikis
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: SHARD-WP-0003-T4
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: medium
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "5748d246-66a8-4cf2-9b22-427cc4507b63"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Deep-dive **ikiwiki**. Distinctive angle: a wiki **compiled to static HTML** from a
|
||
**git-backed** source, with **distributed** operation (push/pull between wiki clones,
|
||
edit-triggered pingers). Referenced in `260608-federation-concepts/` — go deeper into the
|
||
git-distributed federation + static-publish model. Map to/enrich UC-31 (subscribe/ping),
|
||
UC-56 (outbound publish), UC-37 (static), UC-33 (git-branch space); feed `SHARD-WP-0002`
|
||
T4/T6.
|
||
|
||
## Gitea / GitLab / GitHub wikis — git-forge-hosted Markdown wikis
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: SHARD-WP-0003-T5
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: high
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "9719ce23-5edd-4110-a428-3cf4df753cdc"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Deep-dive the **git-forge wikis** (Gitea, GitLab, GitHub) as one grouped memo. Distinctive
|
||
angle: each is a **git repo of Markdown** exposed through a forge (clone the wiki repo
|
||
directly *or* use the forge API). INTENT explicitly names **Gitea wikis** as a shard
|
||
participant, so this confirms a first-class backend. Compare with Wiki.js's
|
||
engine-maintained git mirror (UC-68): here the git repo *is* the native store. Enrich
|
||
UC-40 (file-store native), UC-02 (attach), UC-68 (git attach), UC-38 (forge API host);
|
||
feed `SHARD-WP-0002` T14.
|
||
|
||
## Salesforce Quip — collaborative live docs + embedded spreadsheets
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: SHARD-WP-0003-T6
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: medium
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "3e55128a-161c-48d0-9ab4-75fd48616dad"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Deep-dive **Salesforce Quip**. Distinctive angle: a **closed SaaS** of live collaborative
|
||
documents with **embedded spreadsheets/live apps** and a REST API, tied to Salesforce
|
||
identity/permissions. A hosted-collab contrast point (vs Notion): document+spreadsheet
|
||
hybrid, enterprise auth. Enrich UC-57 (external-API), UC-55/58 (embedded
|
||
spreadsheet/structured content), UC-36 (internal history), UC-06 (enterprise ACL); feed
|
||
`SHARD-WP-0002` T11/T14.
|
||
|
||
## Oddmuse — minimalist single-script Perl wiki
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: SHARD-WP-0003-T7
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: low
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "581e0a96-62e9-4074-86c3-c6df18b72f06"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Deep-dive **Oddmuse**. Distinctive angle: a **single Perl script**, **plain-text page
|
||
files**, deliberately minimal — the low-complexity file-store end. Useful as a
|
||
graceful-degradation / minimal-adapter reference. Enrich UC-40 (file-store), UC-01 (open
|
||
wiki), UC-36/41 (plain-text history); feed `SHARD-WP-0002` T11 (minimal capability
|
||
profile).
|
||
|
||
## Mojomojo — Perl Catalyst DB-backed wiki
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: SHARD-WP-0003-T8
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: low
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "42222ccd-4b91-4dfa-900d-3b94e1f246f4"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Deep-dive **MojoMojo**. Distinctive angle: a **Perl Catalyst / DBIx::Class** DB-backed
|
||
wiki with page hierarchy, attachments, and inline editing — a classic MVC DB engine
|
||
contrast to the file-store classics. Enrich UC-02/40 (DB vs file attach), UC-36 (DB
|
||
history), UC-34 (structured fields); feed `SHARD-WP-0002` T13/T14.
|
||
|
||
## UseModWiki — the flat-file ancestor
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: SHARD-WP-0003-T9
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: low
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "119c6d50-deaa-45ee-bb44-271985974d89"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Deep-dive **UseModWiki**. Distinctive angle: the **historical ancestor** — a Perl CGI
|
||
flat-file wiki, CamelCase linking, the lineage behind c2-era wikis and **MediaWiki Phase
|
||
I**. Origins/lineage value (pairs with `260608-c2-wiki-origins/`): the minimal flat-file
|
||
page+history model the whole field descends from. Enrich UC-01 (open wiki), UC-40
|
||
(flat-file store), UC-25 (CamelCase naming), UC-36/41 (flat-file revision history); note
|
||
lineage for the origins record.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Acceptance criteria
|
||
|
||
- Each of T1–T9 has a `research/<yymmdd>-<slug>-deep-dive/` dir with `README.md` +
|
||
`findings.md`, following the dive template (capability profile, INTENT mapping, UC
|
||
seeds, sources, traceability).
|
||
- `spec/UseCaseCatalog.md` updated per dive (new UCs + enrichments + a per-source mapping
|
||
subsection + traceability rows + header/promoted-from); `research/README.md` and
|
||
`SCOPE.md` (UC count, research row) updated.
|
||
- Findings that touch the adapter contract are cross-referenced to `SHARD-WP-0002`
|
||
(T11–T16); their architecture notes are captured for the next synthesis.
|
||
- Each dive is committed (`research:` message) and state-hub-synced (progress event).
|
||
- **After the batch:** assess whether a `research/260614-shard-spectrum-synthesis`
|
||
**v3** is warranted (new spectra/modes from Wikibase RDF, Federated Wiki coordination,
|
||
TiddlyWiki single-file, ikiwiki distributed) and re-fold into `SHARD-WP-0002` if so.
|
||
|
||
## Suggested task order
|
||
|
||
High-insight first: **T1 Federated Wiki → T2 Wikibase → T5 git-forge wikis** (INTENT-named)
|
||
→ **T3 TiddlyWiki → T4 ikiwiki** → then the contrast/lineage set **T6 Quip → T8 MojoMojo
|
||
→ T7 Oddmuse → T9 UseModWiki**.
