Note collection

[Daniel Schultz]

Man what a week - I'm still in Berlin but get home tomorrow. I want
to put together some content for metametaproject.org (I registered
both domain names) in addition to updating the wiki with the latest.

Raynor emailed me his notes, but if anyone else has stuff jotted down
about meta (including pictures of written notes!) I would love to see
them as I churn through it all.

On that point, I'm going to be emailing out the general mojo list as
soon as I have sorted that out, set up as much of the open source
support side of things, and collected the pieces of my brain...
Hopefully we can saddle up and start cranking out some code once
everything is in order!

Best,
Dan

I'm looking for a wiki for my project. Despite Raynor's love for PHP ; ), for which there are dozens of decent Wiki choices, I'm going to test this one in Python which looks pretty good, especially  for code formatting. Might be worth a look for this project as well.

Curious if others have a favorite.

Cool comparison tool.

I would not choose a wiki by the language, but by its wiki syntax. Or by some features that makes those both things irrelevant.

I used in the past local installations of http://fitnesse.org because I used it to both document and test some projects.

I agree. The language is not an important consideration.

I have already discarded many before I decided to test this one based upon lack of certain features like WYSIWYG.

But that feature might not be important to this group.

Acceptance tests integrated into the wiki. Hadn't considered that feature. : )

I have found github wikis do most of what I want, it's really basic stuff with no WYSIWYG I think it's great to have the wiki and source code in one place :)

Actually, that might be enough for me at this point. I guess I really didn't mean WYSIWYG, but rather a decent editing toolbar for the markdown.

I also agree that when it comes to picking a wiki system, you should not look at the language used for the implementation, but the ease of use, the ease of installation, the support and community, etc.

 

(For me, PHP is only a problem if I have to code in it. ;) When programming, I prefer to express my ideas clearly instead of fighting the language.)
