Have you used a wiki in your project or group?
The workgroup at my company is considering creating a wiki to store information that everyone may find useful. It would contain anything from tips/links on new technologies used on projects to internal procedures/guides for the servers we have set up. Has anyone had experience with this? Right now we're mainly using Sharepoint to keep...
Best Wiki for Mobile Users
Most wiki software I've presents lots of "features" on their pages. This is fine for desktop users, but is annoying when using an iPhone or other mobile device. I'd prefer pages that just had the content, along with maybe an Edit button and a Search button. The editors are also often too fancy for mobile users; a simple multi-line edi...
Recommended wiki for software development?
What wiki software do you use for your software development wiki needs? Looking for something preferably wysiwyg and simple to use. A nice to have would be something that can import office documents (for the non-engineers) ...
Is there any wiki engine that supports page creation by email?
Hi folks. I want to consolidate all the loose information of the company I work for into a knowledge base. A wiki seems to be the way to go, but most of the relevant information is buried inside PST files, and it would take ages to convince people to manually translate their emails one by one (including attachments) into wiki pages. So I...
How should I handle autolinking in wiki page content?
What I mean by autolinking is the process by which wiki links inlined in page content are generated into either a hyperlink to the page (if it does exist) or a create link (if the page doesn't exist). With the parser I am using, this is a two step process - first, the page content is parsed and all of the links to wiki pages from the so...
Getting developers to use a wiki
I work on a complex application where different teams work on their own modules with a degree of overlap. A while back we got a Mediawiki instance set up, partly at my prompting. I have a hard job getting people to actually use it, let alone contribute. I can see a lot of benefit in sharing information. It may at least reduce the times ...
Is Wiki Content Portable?
I'm thinking of starting a wiki, probably on a low cost LAMP hosting account. I'd like the option of exporting my content later in case I want to run it on IIS/ASP.NET down the line. I know in the weblog world, there's an open standard called BlogML which will let you export your blog content to an XML based format on one site and import...
What's the easiest way to convert Wiki markup to HTML?
I'm building a website that requires very basic markup capabilities. I can't use any 3rd party plugins, so I just need a simple way to convert markup to HTML. I might have a total of 3 tags that I'll allow. What is the best way to convert "==Heading=="" to "< h2>Heading< / h2>", or "--bold--" to "< b> bold < /b>"? Can this be done si...
Using a wiki as a central development project repository
I have played with the idea of using a wiki (MediaWiki) to centralize all project information for a development project. This was done using extensions that pull information from SVN (using SVNKit) and by linking to Bugzilla to extract work assigned to a developer or work remaining for a release. Examples: <bugzilla type="summary" use...
What is the best wiki for a small project or a home site?
There are lots of different wiki implementations. For a lightweight site you might not want a heavyweight implementation (e.g. like Tiki). What are good wiki implementations and why? By lightweight site I mean small number of users and relatively low bandwidth. Don't just list links, give reasons why they are good, e.g. easy install, ma...
Need a wiki where I can export to Word
I'm looking for a wiki that I can use to track requirements for a project, but we would like to be able to export the wiki (with formatting) to Microsoft Word. Does anyone know of a wiki that does this? ...
Any better way to create MediaWiki numbered lists?
When using MediaWiki's markup language, the only thing that I hate is creating numbered lists. The only way I know to create a list is to do something like this: #Item1 #Item2 However, if I want to add spaces or some other text between those lines, the numbering gets lost. For example, the following will create text that has two numbe...
Customizing Search Results Display in Sharepoint Services 3.0 Wiki
I'm looking at using a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 wiki as a metadata repository. We basically want a community-driven dictionary and for various reasons we're using Sharepoint instead of say MediaWiki. What can I do to customize or completely replace searchresults.aspx? Features I'd add if I knew how: Automatically load the #1 ...
How do you keep a personal wiki (TiddlyWiki) current and in sync in multiple locations?
If one were to use TiddlyWiki as a personal database for notes and code snippets, how would you go about keeping it in sync between multiple machines. Would a svn/cvs etc work. How would you handle merges? ...
How to enter Javascript into a wiki page?
How can I, as the wiki admin, enter scripting (Javascript) into a Sharepoint wiki page? I would like to enter a title and, when clicking on that, having displayed under it a small explanation. I usually have done that with javascript, any other idea? ...
On a wiki, is it acceptable to restructure people's headings?
I dislike the fact that people use h3 rather h1, or skip a level just because of the way it looks. IMHO, headings signify document structure, rather than layout. The layout is just a side effect, customizable through themes. Having "wrong" heading levels also makes it more difficult to generate proper TOCs and/or export to other formats...
Converting C++ code to HTML safe
I decided to try http://www.screwturn.eu/ wiki as a code snippet storage utility. So far I am very impressed, but what irkes me is that when I copy paste my code that I want to save, '<'s and '[' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encodings_in_HTML#Character_references) invariably screw up the output as the wiki interprets them as e...
How do you build a culture of collaboration in your team?
We've recently moved to using the wiki in our team. Earlier, we thought people couldn't contribute because it was difficult to. However, having a wiki (3 months now) hasn't helped as much as we'd hoped. Most folks still put it off as 'not my job'. How do I encourage my team to contribute to the wiki? NOTE: One useful resource I found i...
What is the best ASP.NET/MSSQL based wiki?
We're considering moving our documentation to a wiki. I tried the SharePoint wiki but it seems really poor on features. Then I tried Mediawiki, but we don't have PHP/MySQL available in our network. We work a lot with Microsoft technology and I was wondering what is the best Wiki that you used that is written in ASP.NET using MSSQL? ...
