Wiki Change!?! (what next?)
Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2005 1:21 pm
I'm toying with the idea of switching wikis now. Like I said before with the forum change, I'm trying to lock down all of these things before the project gets any more popular. Pretty much the only reason for switching is look for something that requires you to register and login before you can post. The wiki spam is happening every couple of days and pmwiki doesn't have a proper mechanism to handle it (that I've seen).
So, with that, I've been messing around with Tikiwiki, and while it is "busy", it's very full featured. I can still do the User Handbook like it was before and later on will have the option to export it to PDF for CMS 1.0. It also requires you to register to edit, but anonymously you can read. You JUST have to register and be signed in to edit, I don't need to approve anyone. It's a very slight inconvienence, but I think it'll make my life easier if I don't have to rollback pages every 2 days.
The test site I setup is: http://wikidev.cmsmadesimple.org and I've moved most of the pages over to it, though some still need some cleaning up. Let me know what you think. I'll probably make the change this weekend if there isn't too much of a protest.
Thanks for bearing with me as I make these changes. I really didn't expect CMSMS to gain the popularity it has, and I want to make sure the infrastructure is there to handle more and more users as they show up.
Thanks!
