This is an interesting project, however, as someone who administers several wikis, both public and private I honestly wouldn't give up control of the server side to the cloud ever. The simple reason is data control. I want daily backups of my wiki data. Can I do that with this?
Similarly, where's the source?
Where's the install for private wikis, such as a company's private internal wiki?
Where's the api so I can write plugins?
Where are the plugins?
What is preventing wiki spammers?
Can I theme this for groups?
I see that groups are 'private' based on my invitations to them, but how can I be sure this isn't easily compromised?
Anyway, this looks interesting, but I don't think it can be used yet for any serious wiki work.

Yes. We back up hourly, and we give you a way to get a full html zip dump with a single http request.

Hackpad is not open-source but would a jar or VM you can run internally do the trick?
> Plugins?
Nothing yet - we hope to make something

Private instances are invite-only (or can be setup to automatically let people with certain email domains in), there's also revision history etc.
>Themes?
Not yet.

Hackpad always runs on https and we take security seriously. Outside of that as I said - if there's interest we may offer a jar/vm you can run inside the firewall.
