Thread: Wiki?
Could I convince someone to set up a Wiki? I don't mean to replace any of the existing services, but once in a while I just have the urge to use one. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/

Mediawiki (what wikipedia uses) seems pretty nice. I could give a stab at setting it up. Do we need another place to run it, or can it run on borg?

Not to be a fly in the ointment but: Why oh why yet another content infrastructure? Can't we get techdocs fixed/updated/removed something... before we put resources into yet more infrastructure?

Well, my personal $0.02 for Techdocs was to simply put up a PostgreSQL-based Wiki which supports authenticated users. However, some folks had more sophisticated ideas. -- --Josh Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

I mean I have a perfectly good FreeBSD machine here doing nothing, that is more than capable of handling something like Bricolage with mod_perl while waiting to be the backup pgfoundry machine. I could also put it on my lovely dual opteron where pgbuildfarm sits (if someone prefers Linux). We could the CpCMS if people want, however it is not OSS (I would of course donate a license so long term support would never be an issue). I would suggest Framewerk but it appears to have silently died or at least the old website is gone... Sincerely, Joshua D. Drake
Framewerk is nearing Beta. I'm unveiling a new website, design, and documentation. I'd love to set techdocs up with it as soon as it's ready, but don't want to push another CVS version based site out. Would rather wait another week or two and set things up right. I did originally offer to do techdocs on Framewerk, and someone else more recently came along and wanted to do something different, MSDN like if I remember correctly. Anyway, if you guys want to wait a couple weeks, I'll do up a proper techdocs with users, cms, cmsWiki (where users can offer revisions into the CMS but they don't go live without approval), and wiki ability.

Suggestions on a particular package you would like to see put up? I have no experience with any, but am willing to get anything you'd like to try put online ...

What ever happen to that? Yes, that was Gevik. He kinda slowed down because no one had time to do any testing for him as at the time those of us that had been helping him were rushing to get other things done before feature freeze. Regards, Dave

What imagine doing with a Wiki has nothing to do with what techdocs does. In particular, I occasionally would like to use a Wiki as a notepad for tracking development issues. Just to pick a random example, this could be used to gather notes on SQL feature conformance. It could also be used for the regular must-fix-before-release list. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/
