First: It is important to remember that the Axiom Wiki http://wiki.axiom-developer.org is a completely separate web site from the Axiom Portal http://page.axiom-developer.org/zope/Plone The Axiom Wiki has it's own separate search function and no bibliography. It might be a bit confusing that there are also a set of pages on the Portal called "Axiom Wiki". These pages are local to the Portal - not the same as the ones on the wiki.axiom-developer.org. And on the Portal there is another set of pages called "Reduce Wiki". These pages are here primarily because I had not yet decided whether it was better to support Axiom using a pure wiki or whether to use a wiki pages embedded in the Plone portal environment. Martin Rubey, who has spent a lot of time helping develop the content on wiki.axiom-developer.org, does not particularly like the Plone user interface. I agreed that Plone is more complex so the primary site for Axiom became the wiki.axiom-develop.org site by default. Plone on the other hand might still be more suitable for registered users who want more control over the content and structure of their web pages. Some registered users of the portal (such as me :) also have publicly accessible wiki pages in their personal folder. So to summarize, you are right that if you check ( ) Wiki Page in the Axiom portal advanced search, your search will include all non-private Wiki pages anywhere on the Axiom portal. But this does *not* include those pages on wiki.axiom-developer.org web site. Second: The 'Item type' checkbox categories actually refer to the Plone object types/classes. Remember: The Zope web application server, on which both ZWiki and Plone are based is a strongly-typed object-oriented database. (Yes, just like Axiom! :) Each page in the database is an object of type. The object type determines the properties and methods that can act on that page. Wiki pages are just one of the object types that are supported in Plone. Zwiki, on the other hand only contains wiki page objects. > ... > BTY, who can add bibtex entries? Is it just the site admin? No. Any registered user of the Axiom Portal can add bibtex entries. They can also create their own private bibliographies and other private web content. Later they can make these pages selectively visible to other registered users or they can "publish" this content so that non-registered users can also see it. (Publication requires approval of a user who is designated as a 'reviewer'.) > Clearly there should be come kind of quality standard but > I'm not sure how to go about it. I think simply requiring people to register is probably sufficient to ensure some level of quality. After all, the entire wiki.axiom-develop.org site is open and editable by anyone, but in spite of that we actually have very little spam or other inappropriate content on that site. So I think in this environment, the best way to implement a "quality standard" is just by having someone assume some responsibility for creation and editing of public content. This is just a matter of someone stepping forward and taking the time to do it. If several people wanted to do that, even better. The wiki and the portal are collaborative environments and by design they are intended to foster cooperation between collaborators... blah, blah... > > IMHO we should figure out how to make this general and > robust from the beginning, because it will be very important > to the literate programming effort to have a good structure > for references set up. > I agree.
