The wiki software is MoinMoin: <http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/>

It's written in Python: <http://www.python.org/>

Much B-Nomic functionality is added through macros:
<http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/HelpOnMacros>; see the last section of
that page for info on writing new macros.

Macros are of the form [[Macroname(arg1,arg2,...)]]; there are also
parsers that do text processing:
{{{
#!parsername
lots of text
more text
etc.
}}}

<http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MacroMarket> and
<http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ParserMarket> have example macros and
parsers you can look at.

If I get a chance in the next few days I'll try to put up the current
scripts running B Nomic, but be warned that they're poorly documented and
drastically kludged in some places.
