FWIW, some wiki/CMS *software* actually implemented in Racket (none of
this kludgey TWiki or massive MediaWiki or such) has been quietly the
next thing on my unpaid work TODO list, after I release McFly and my
rewritten HTML templating libraries.
I want the markup language for the wiki/CMS to use the Scribble reader
(and probably Scribble subset language and formatter), to lower the
barrier for people editing the wiki or authoring a PLaneT package to
then go and do the other thing. Most uses of a wiki installation would
be hitting static files or blobs, and the Racket Web Server would handle
editing and any tiny bits of JSON Web serving, so it could run a site
like the official Racket wiki on a modest computer/VM.
This is vaporware, and I have not written a single line of code
specifically for it. Someone might beat me to it.
