wikinet is just way tooo slow :(

[Ákos Maróy]

I'm trying to use our wiki, and it seems wikinet is just unusably slow :(

I guess the reason we're not running our own wiki is mainly spam issues.
is there no solution to this with a MediaWiki? or, maybe we can restrict
editing to registered users, whom we manually approve each time?

No, it's not that easy. The OSM stack, or rather passenger fusion,
require a different apache package than php, which mediawiki runs on.
Thus we can't host them on the same machine at the current time
without ugly hacks that I'd rather avoid.

That would be great!

do I simply install a MediaWiki, or is there anything funky to be set up?

if I give you permissions, would you set it up? ;)

You need php and mysql as far as I remember. You also need some captcha plugin.

Yeah, I think I've got the time to do that today.

Hi,

The Wiki link on the OAM homepage points to http://wiki.openaviationmap.org/index.php/Main_Page.
Is this now the official Wiki? If yes, why the content from from http://openaviationmap.wikinet.org/wiki/Main_Page was not transferred? OAM will never make any progress if it starts from scratch every month :-(

Recently there was a lot of discussion about tools and frameworks but the homepage still contains nothing more than some airspace maps of Hungary. The homepage represents the project and there - nothing happens :-(. Paying people to add data indicates that this project has already failed as a community project. A project is about people and communication, not just tools and frameworks!

So OAM still has:
- no mission
- no (real) homepage
- no community
- various unmaintained wikis

I know that I made the same complaints already some months ago. Unfortunately, in my opinion, this evaluation is still valid.
