I'm looking for a static website generator that will do blogs / wikis (blikis!) like my own website already does.

specifically designed for being a wiki

• markdoc [2] — abandoned, no updates for several years
• ikiwiki — kind of old

general-purpose static generators

STATICGEN.COM — sorted by popularity!

• Pelican
  • boo, directories can only be two levels deep??!?
  • seriously, Pelican looks really good
  • plugins
    • GitHub activity
    • Summary
• Middleman — LOCAL DATA!
  • Ruby :(
• Hexo — pretty, but I'm not sure it has as many features as Pelican
• hugo — pretty, and interesting extra features (taxonomies, aliases, github tutorial) [itself]

general-purpose static generators that allow a FULL DIRECTORY STRUCTURE

• Octopress [example] [src]
  • pros: "batteries included", cons:
  • tonnns of plugins OMG
    • post revision plugin
  • Ruby :(
• nanoc — damn it looks pretty, and has a decent number of features (multilingual) [itself]
  • Ruby :(
• unsure -- harp
