Other known self-programming wikis:
Comments people have made that indicate they may have or be working on self-programming wikis:
I'm thinking of something else. A Wiki:WikiClone? in which everything can be changed by everyone. Not just the contents, but also the code.
Clearly, this raises the issues of trust involved to new levels. I would like to run this Wiki:MetaWiki? on a server, but I have to make at least some assurances against attacks.
This probably means that the server actually runs in some sandbox; it cannot contact outside computers via the network itself; it can only respond to incoming requests. It cannot access the file system; it can only use a database.
It should work a bit like a Smalltalk system; just like you can view (and change) the browser's code that you are currently using, you can edit the code that is currently serving your page. In this way, rather than having to hack your own WikiClone?, you can just modify MetaWiki? to suit your needs...

One of my perpetual prototypes allows edit access to the underlying Perl scripts, though I've found it more convenient to use an editor in a separate window. -- Wiki:DaveSmith? (found on Wiki:WikiWithProgrammableContent?)
