In plain English

MM-Wiki is a lightweight knowledge sharing and team collaboration tool built for companies and teams who want to run their own internal wiki. It is written in Go, which means deployment involves downloading a single pre-compiled binary for your platform and running it, with no complex runtime dependencies to manage. The README is written in Chinese. The tool organizes content into spaces, where each space is a collection of documents for a specific team or department. Documents within a space are independent of those in other spaces, and each space can have its own access level settings. Writing is done in Markdown, and file attachments are supported. Full-text search across all documents is included. User management supports custom roles with different permission levels. For companies that already have a central login system, MM-Wiki can connect to an external authentication provider such as LDAP so employees use their existing credentials. When a document is updated, optional email notifications can alert anyone who is following that document. Setup runs through a web-based installer that appears when you first launch the program. On Linux, you run the install binary, open a browser at the local address, complete a configuration form, and then start the main application. Windows installation follows a similar flow with a double-click installer. Docker is also supported for teams that prefer container-based deployment. An nginx reverse proxy configuration is included for production setups. The author notes in the README introduction that active development on this version has paused, and a full rebuild is planned. The project is MIT-licensed. A live demo was available at a linked address at the time of writing.
