*What is PukiWiki? [#n1aa5e3c]
~PukiWiki is a web-based tool which allows both webmasters and visitors to add, delete, and modify pages without any restriction. Web-based means all you need is a web-browser to take full advantage of Pukiwiki. Pukiwiki might resemble some characteristics of Bulletin Board System where you can leave messages. But Pukiwiki also allows you to change the entire content structure of exsiting page as well as creating new pages.
&br;
~Your imagination is the only limit for possible uses of Pukiwiki. Please visit [[Use PukiWiki/the Purpose of Usage>Use PukiWiki/利用目的]] to see how other people are using PukiWiki.
&br;
~Sng gave birth to PukiWiki, and continued its development until the release of PukiWiki 1.3. Then PukiWiki Developers Team inherited the development from him. PukiWiki was originally created as PHP rewrite of perl based YukiWiki created by Hiroshi Yuki. Since its birth PukiWiki has undergone it s own evloution and now PukiWiki offers many unique functionalities YukiWiki are not capable of.
&br;
One of the stregnths of PukiWiki is that new functionalities can be easily added through plugins.
Many plugins have been developed. Some plugins are "official", meaning that they are included in the PukiWiki package. And many more "unofficial" plugins have been developed and submitted to PukiWiki web site. Please refer to [[Pukiwiki/Plug-in Specification(in Japanese):http://pukiwiki.sourceforge.jp/dev/?PukiWiki%2FPlug-in%A4%CE%BB%C5%CD%CD]] for details on developing plugins.
