Melkor was inspired by GitHub's fantastic Gollum wiki engine, engine used for GitHub's very own wiki functionality.
The Melkor engine works by storing all the data inside Git repos and using Markdown (the GitHub version) for formatting the pages' content.
Users can easily create new pages or edit existing ones, also adding comments to each edit, comments that get saved inside the Git repository as regular commit messages.
By using Git as the data storage backend, developers can easily access the raw data at any time without the need of a complicated database engine or database GUI.
Using Git also means faster page load times, since there's no need to wait for database query responses anymore.
Other frontend feature include support for responsive layouts and mobile devices (via Bootstrap), and a very powerful AJAX-driven page navigation and page editing system.
