SubWiki is written in Python and uses Subversion for storage.
SubWiki is an impressive piece of code (as one would expect from GregStein), the area where it is weak is documentation.
This site used to run SubWiki as it was the obvious choice for a community Subversion web site. The reason for dropping SubWiki was that the SPAMers were contributing more content to the site than anyone else and removing it all was tedious.
SubWiki is a Wiki package worth keeping an eye on, it has potential to become a very good Wiki. Maybe someone will take up the task of documenting what can be done with SubWiki to spur further uptake.
