DirDir - A directory-oriented WikiWiki

DirDir is the next generation diri wiki, now implemented on top of wercand taking advantage of its user, site management frameworks and other infrastructure.

Features

DirDir is still somewhat experimental, but already all features diri had, plus some extras thanks to werc's power:

* Hierarchical organization.
* Markdown formatting.
* Easily customizable templates
* Simple and fine grained user permisions system.
* Completely database free.
* All needed to setup diridiri is to set a flag in your _werc/config file.
* Automatically wiki-fy existing werc documents.
* Implemented in about two dozen lines of rc scripts.
