DolphinWiki

The Wiki system your currently using is one written in Perl, is based on Dolphin-Wiki, which is in turn based on Spinner Wiki, which itself was based on JOS Wiki.

None of these earlier distributions seems to have been modified for a couple of years, and do not seem to have an active community behind them. Dolphin-wiki seems to have been maintained by http://www.object-arts.co.uk/ but doesn't appear to be available on their site any longer. JOS-wiki and Spinner are both officially marked as inactive projects on Sourceforge.

Possibly the developers figured they had gone far enough, or had other projects they moved onto. This is how I came to make a number of changes to the Dolphin-Wiki codebase to customise if for my own purposes.
