Good day,Earlier today whilst reading through some of the infra@ postings I happened across a mail which was referring to another wiki platform that the ASF use. CWIKI.
http://cwiki.apache.org/CWIKI/ I have had a look at one such wiki site http://cwiki.apache.org/CAYSITE/and I have to say it looks impressive. Much more inviting and friendlier than ou current one. From what I have read in the CWIKI pages the look and feel is much more customisable, the security is more granular, and the major thing is that the wiki is not directly used, but rather they are exported to HTML (automatically from what I can see) and that is what people are sent links to.
I do wonder if we (the HTTPD, and more specifically the docs project) could use this to greater affect than the MoinMoin one we currently use.
I am sure an XLST file could be created so that they exported versions could be easily added to the official docs much more easily. As this is one of the aims of the wiki anyway, this should at least be thought about.
One of the benefits from the infra point of view is that these pages can be cached far more easily than the MoinMoin ones (though I am not sure as to the extent, or the reasonings behind this yet).
So what I am suggesting is that we possibly move to this new wiki platform whilst there is still plenty of impetus to maintain the wiki as proactively as we currently do.
I am more than willing to do the work to move us over to the new model, and look at the possible links to the docs export.
Your vote please: [ ] + [ ] - Cheers, Tony
