Nice MVP. I like the idea of using git behind it, that is novel and makes 'owning' the data easy. Could be the killer feature.

Other comments: - what is with the speckled grey textured background? Oy, are we back in 1997? Terrible!

- if I actually used this, I'd want to brand the page a bit to make it look how I want, I didn't see any template to edit.

- multiple owners and having users there is very cool, as is logging in via github. (and automatically claiming the subdomain off the github user)

Anyways, keep it up, I think there is demand for a reasonably priced wiki for sure.

The idea of a wiki using a Git back-end is certainly not novel:

Gollum: https://github.com/gollum/gollum

Gitit: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gitit-0.1.1

Git-wiki: https://github.com/sr/git-wiki

WiGit: http://el-tramo.be/wigit/

etc.

Thank you.

We'll make the background better, and will support custom theme(or custom CSS) in the future.
