At the meeting, Uri suggested that we turn boston.pm.org into a wiki -- specifically, a Kwiki. I'd be happy to do so.
I've got a Kwiki set up on one of my personal machines and I've been very happy with it - as simple as it is - with the ability to lock down certain pages, etc. I don't do much with it, these days, though.
So I tried to deploy a Kwiki to a hosted website that I have as well, and found it impossible to get it to work on there, since I don't have full shell use on the server. Has anyone else run into this or dealt with it?
I've been thinking about using OddMuse instead, though I haven't had the time to play with it much.
[I know, that doesn't answer your question, but I'd kind of like to hear folks thoughts about various wiki implementations, and, being Boston.pm, especially their thoughts about various Perl ones]
As far as setting the site up as a wiki, we should note both the positives and negatives:
+ makes maintenance way easy, potentially by various folks
- there have been problems with Wiki spam and folks using wikis to dump heaps of links to try to get their URLs found via things like google.
These two issues may indicate that a wiki which allows an admin group and locked pages is essential. (Kwiki, at least when I was playing with it, basically allowed only one administrator who could lock pages)
