Claude Fable 5 0629411966 Add architecture documentation, ADRs, and operations concept

Initial deliverable of the architecture phase: 16 ADRs (stack, CRDT
collaboration, plugin sandbox, import/export, backups, CI/CD), data
model, permission model, real-time collaboration and plugin concepts,
deployment/operations/security documentation, and the milestone roadmap
that the implementation issues are derived from.

Raw Blame History

Dorfteich

Dorfteich is an open-source wiki system built around ponds (German: Teiche) — self-contained wiki spaces that people and teams organize freely with hierarchical labels, directories, and Obsidian-style page relations. Pages are edited in a collaborative WYSIWYG editor with live cursors and offline support.

Public flagship instance: https://dorfteich.online

Key features

Real-time collaboration — multiple people edit the same page simultaneously; everyone sees the other participants' cursors and input live. Offline edits merge conflict-free on reconnect (CRDT-based).
Ponds — isolated wiki spaces with their own members, permissions, fonts, and page organization. Every registered person gets a personal pond.
Flexible organization — hierarchical labels, free page ordering, [[wikilinks]] with backlinks. A classic page tree is possible but never enforced.
Fine-grained permissions — roles (Site Admin, Pond Admin, Editor, Reader, Public) can be granted per pond, per label, or per page; the most specific setting wins.
Import & export — Markdown as the primary exchange format, plus best-effort structural import from Word/OpenOffice and export to Word/OpenOffice/PDF.
Plugins — sandboxed extensions (custom blocks, styles, page tools) installable at runtime without redeploying the instance.
Self-hosting first — a single docker compose up plus a guided first-run setup wizard yields a working instance.
