Hey guys,
I was very happy to find Waliki. It looks like a really promising project with many of the features I'd like in a wiki. When setting up a basic site as per the README, I came across some interesting behavior. When I create a new page, the empty markdown file is created, but I am unable to save the file after an initial edit. Interestingly, when I went into the Waliki source code and made an edit to views.py, I was able to make things function fine. What I did was change the raw page value here (https://github.com/mgaitan/waliki/blob/master/waliki/views.py#L125) from an empty string to a single space (" "). This saved the file as such (a single space, rather than empty), and the form submission worked fine after. I'd of course prefer if the file was initially saved as empty.
Do you know why this might be happening?
Thanks,
Michael
