SofaWiki is a file-based CMS built from PHP. It uses concepts of MediaWiki, but without MySQL, which makes it extremely portable. Pages written in SofaWiki can also have freely defined fields from which relational database queries can be built.

SofaWiki, from Lausanne, Switzerland, was written by Matthias Bürcher of Belle Nuit Montage https://www.Belle-Nuit.com for internal use in March 2010.
