Why do I use JSPWiki? Once you get through the drama of installing and configuring it, it just works!!
1) I have used JSPWiki for 8 years as a developer's journal. Each day, I record everything I've done, stuff I've learned, tips tricks, etc. 2) For the past three years, I've used it to store all my PhD research notes. The full text search with Lucene built-in is worth using it alone IMHO. 3) In the last few months, I've installed JSPWiki to be used as the help system for my thesis project software. Rather than writing a ton of help files, I figured I'd just put up a few basic How To / Intro pages, and then provide a facility for users to write their own docs. JSPWiki is great for this. If you're familiar with the Java J2EE stack, servlets, JSP, and Java web apps, then adding JSPWiki as a component is a natural thing. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Uszak [mailto:paul.us...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, 8 February 2016 3:34 PM To: user@jspwiki.apache.org Subject: Why do you use JSPWiki? Why do you use JSPWiki? Since there is a concurrent thread regarding “who is JSPWiki for ?” I thought it might be useful to try to gain some insight into why we chose /use it. This might be useful in assessing it's appeal. I'll go first if I may :-) All Java, from web server to the application itself No need for a separate database File storage facilitates easy backup Sufficient features for a simple website Primarily text based so low bandwidth requirement Small footprint My site: www.reallyreallyrandom.com Not a collaborative wiki but JSPWiki nevertheless.
