How can I make an Application look nice and not like an amateur pulled it together?
I mean graphic-wise.

Right now, attachments get stored in the DB instead of on the filesystem. Is there a configuration option or a plugin that can be used to change XWiki to store and read attachments from disk?
I see that there are hooks in xwiki.cfg file for swapping out the Java class that implements attachment storage.
So far I've come across this us...

I am looking to set up an internal wiki for our development/design team.
The key feature I am looking for is a very simple editor with revision history. Ideally, the uber-simple markup system StackOverflow.com uses (Markdown) would be great. One of the reasons for this is that we have non-technical people (managers, sales people, desi...

I've set up a wiki, a JSPWiki to be precise, as this drops into Tomcat nicely.
Is there some way I could integrate the wiki user information to the user table in my a...
Hi everyone!
I'm using redmine and I'm trying to insert the special character "|" inside a table in a redmine wiki page. I don't want this character to be parsed as a column separator. I've achieved this by doing a < code >|< /code> around this character, but I don't want to use the code tag, since this character will gain code attribut...
I am currently working on a large PHP CMS / Framework and documenting it extensively as I go along. In addition to phpdoc-style inline comments, I need to document XML structures, details on concepts and practices, write HOWTOs and so on.
At the moment, I am using simple OpenOffice documents for that, but I'm unhappy with it and looking...
Hi I created a Wiki in Sharepoint 2007, and then deleted the Home page. Now when I go to the AllPages.aspx (ie the root of the wiki) I've got no menu options. I cannot delete the Wiki page, or add any pages to it.
Here's what I see - there's no way to delete it as far as I can tell. Any help greatly appreciated, don't want to start...

However this will re...

I was searching the net for something like a wiki database, just like wikipedia but instead stores structured content, editable by users. What I was looking for was an online database accessible by everyone where people can design the schema and data with proper versioning of both schema and data. I couldn't find any such site. I am not ...

Where would you put documentation for a team web project?
Our system is based on ASP.NET/C#, but I guess this problem is applicable to many other solutions/languages.
Currently, we have the following types of documentation:
Text, descriptions, guides etc (mostly text, but some .doc)
Visio files (graphs, flowcharts, database diagrams)...

I would ...
