To get it running on MacOS 10.5 I had to comment
602 in MainFrame.py
601 IconSize = “16×16″
602 # if ‘__WXGTK__’ in wx.PlatformInfo: IconSize = “22×22″
and set 601
to
IconSize=”22×22″
Can’t get it running on Tiger 10.4.11 with Python 2.5

If you’re looking for a similar desktop wiki to Wixi but without the need to use markup, you should also check out Luminotes.

To accentuate this: Wixi contains the German word “wichsen”, which means “to wank”.
For this reason Wixi’s wiki market share is 0.001 per cent in Germany, Austria, Suisse.
Wixi’s wank name should be changed.
