I like a wiki to contain information that needs to be known within a team. Having the expression in mind, "A picture is worth a thousand words", I would like to make a small class diagram, sequence diagram or component diagram inside a wiki using an ajax or flash plugin. We currently don't do any technical design because they are often ...
I installed mediawiki on my server as my personal knowledge base. Sometimes I copy some stuff from Web and paste to my wiki - such as tips & tricks from somebody's blog. How do I make the copied content appear in a box with border? For example, the box at the end of this blog post looks pretty nice: http://blog.dreamhost.com/2008/03/21/...
What's a good Wiki (or other browser based collaborative tool) for technical documentation? Both as a programmers reference and more general "How to perform this reoccurring tasks on a computer" documents. I'm looking for Wikis with features specifically geared towards documenting system, framework and application development. I'm not g...
I previously asked about how people organize their online resources and researched data, where one of the suggested tools was using a private wiki. I want to try this out and thus I am looking for a hosted wiki where I can store my thoughts, ideas and project documentation. My requirements are: Must be hosted by a third party. Must ...
Had anybody found a way to migrate MediaWiki pages over to WSS Wikis? We just put up Sharepoint 2007 and while it appears to meet our needs, it doesn't appear to be any tool provided by Microsoft to migrate MediaWiki pages over to WSS wikis. ...
Is there a Python module for converting wiki markup to other languages (e.g. HTML)? A similar question was asked here, What's the easiest way to convert wiki markup to html, but no Python modules are mentioned. Just curious. :) Cheers. ...
Hi, I'm looking for some kind of text-parser for ASP.NET that can make HTML from some style of text that uses a special format. Like in Wiki's there is some special syntax for headings and such. I have tried to look on google, but I did not found anything for .NET. Do someone know about a library for .NET that can parse the text to HTM...
We have a distributed team working on a mid-sized project; I am currently the only technical person involved. At the beginning of the project we had a discussion on what to use for project documentation and we agreed on a wiki. We are now a couple of months into this project and still nobody except me has put any actual content into the...
We're considering moving from trac to Atlassian Confluence as our knowledge base solution. ("We" are a growing IT consulting company, so most users are somewhat technical.) There are many reasons we're looking for an alternative to trac: ACL, better wiki refactoring tools (Move/rename, Delete (retaining history), What links here, Attach...
How to add offline access functionality to MoinMoin wiki? As a minimum, I would love to have browsing access to all pages on a server-based wiki (while being offline). Search and other things, which do not modify the content, are secondary. An added bonus would be if this solution allowed to update wiki content while offline and push i...
Can anyone recommend a good asp.net wiki that is easily skinnable, has an API (auto upload initial wiki content) and scalable? ...
My company does custom software for several companies. We have dozens of small software projects (and some larger ones), each with its own history, quirks and processes. We document this in an instance of MediaWiki), and that has worked wonderfully. Code documentation, on the other hand, is usually put with the code in source control....
For an application (*) I'm developing I need a mixture of dynamically generated and static pages. It would be cool to use a wiki such that once a dynamic page has been accessed for the first time it becomes a static page that can be annotated by a user just like any other static wiki page. In other words, I want to override whatever out...
Hi, I am trying to setup tracd for the project I am currently working on. After creating a password file with the python script given in the site I am trying to start the server with authentication on. But it throws up warning saying No users found in the realm. What actually is a realm - I tried using trac as the value and also tried l...
javaspec.org should contain a java-related wiki; but it seems down... Is this only temporary or is it down 'forever'? ...
I am currently using MediaWiki as a documentation website, with login authenticated by LDAP. However, we have hit a snag. Certain pages contain sensitive information. For example links that say "click here to log in". I would like to be able to protect certain pages from being edited by just anyone. I would like to allow certain grou...
Hi I am in a process of evaluating wikis. Our main purpose is to use it for product documentation for customers and internal use like specifications etc. I have started out with using the Wiki Matrix and have found that the following products suits our needs: Confluence XWiki Clearspace MediaWiki DocuWiki Is there anyone out there th...
I'd asked a question a while back about ways to encourage my team to collaborate. The tool we use is a wiki. Since this is the first time we are using the wiki (formally and as a team), we are learning by committing mistakes. One of the lessons has been that a wiki isn't suitable for tracking activities. It is better to use a tool buil...
If two users edit the same wiki topic, what methods have been used in wikis (or in similar collaborative editing software) to merge the second user's edits with the first? I'd like a solution that: doesn't require locking doesn't lose any additions to the page. It may add extra "boilerplate" text to indicate where differing changes we...
