Yea, I concur. And 99% of PHP sites are ugly to boot. In fact, even Perl-based sites are almost always nicer looking than PHP. ;-) Actually, a cgi-app based wiki that is light-weight, using flat files or sqlite as the backend, and jQuery on the front end, with JSON for data back-and-forth, and a modular design would be a really nice development. As mentioned earlier, there is already a CGI::Wiki that has now morphed into Wiki::Toolkit. I am not sure how well used or maintained it is... might be a nice base to start with, although I wonder why its name was change... keeping in with the philosophy of cgi plugins, a CGI::Application::Plugin::Wiki and an optional CGI::Application::Plugin::Forum and CGI::Application::Plugin::Blog would be great. Recaptcha could be used for stopping spammers. -- Puneet Kishor ##### CGI::Application community mailing list ################ ## ## ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp ## ## ## ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ## ## ################################################################
