Planetary is a new wiki engine which is still in development. It was started August 2010 by members of the Jacobs University in  and the Knowledge Media Institute at The Open University (OU) in . It is hosted by .

The Planetary System is a Web 3.0 information portal which is specifically -enabled, and combines the social, user generated Web (Web 2.0) with features. Its ethos is that it can be instantiated by a user community to individual "planets" that combine material on a specific topic of joint interest. The fundament difference between sites which use Planetary, and Web 2.0 portals like Wikipedia, is that the 'planets' concentrate on semantic interactions and topics (where semantic annotations of complex objects is worthwhile).

Its wiki syntax is as yet unknown, although it states it is a re-write of the  software, and the software doesn't appear to be available for download yet. It is intended to be released as (FOSS), and indications appear to state it will be released under the  (GPL).
