Seeing as we're all pretty busy, perhaps a wiki for the Blackbox website would be a good idea. Content would come in freely from anybody who wishes to contribute. RoX.sf.net has their entire site turned into a wiki and they seem to be doing quite well.
I've put together a page layout a bit more suitable for a wiki, and I'll be posting it somewhere as soon as I've made it into an actual image of what the wiki would look like. I'm currently researching PHP-based wiki's out there to find the most suitable one. Proposals and accounts of personal experiences are welcome. So far I have my heart set on one of the following: - PHPWiki: http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/ Live example: http://RoX.sf.net/ - PMWiki: http://www.pmwiki.org/ Live example: http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php - Wikki Tikki Tavi: http://tavi.sourceforge.net/ Questions: 1. Is this a good idea? I think so, but perhaps I'm missing something. 2. Would it be better to store the pages as flat files or in MySQL? I believe some if not all of the above wikis allow you to do either. 3. Should be base all the site in wiki or make the wiki a separate section? Personally I think we should use the wiki's side benefit of serving as a content management system and build the entire site with it. Plus, we don't have much "static" content that would make for a big site we don't want altered. Ultimately, I think the wiki allows to apply restrictions to certain sections. 4. If you have more experience with wikis: how complicated is it to prevent people from spamming it? -- Ciprian Popovici -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
