At the risk of being repetitive, see below. I can help with the migration. -Tom -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Boston.pm] Wiki is back Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2011 19:07:03 -0500 From: Tom Metro <tmetro-boston.pm@...> CC: L-boston-pm <[email protected]> Bill Ricker wrote: > We might want to consider if this current web situation can be improved > - locking down the wiki would prevent spam (which is 80% of edits!) > - switching from a wiki to a CMS might be reasonable... I'll reiterate a prior recommendation to use Wikispaces. It's been working fine for BLU and a few other projects with minimal maintenance effort. (Much nicer wiki UI than kwiki, too.) If you set it to require a login (OpenID) you pretty much eliminate spam. The big downside to it is that you have to pay in order to use a fully custom domain, otherwise you get a subdomain, which you could redirect to from your desired domain. > ...since calendar is most of our changes... I'd like to see a group hack project to build a tool that lets the group leader post a meeting announcement once, and have it distributed to the list, Google Calendar, LinkedIn, IRC, Twitter, etc. Didn't ActiveState recently announce that you can get a free account on their PaaS cloud service that supports Perl? Maybe the tool could be hosted there. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
