I've not digged much into this - but I'm not clear whether WorldPress
is a simple skinning template, or a wiki sort of thing, with editing
functionality. If the latter, I've not found any obvious edit buttons.
WordPress is a full-featured blogging/cms engine. It started as a
blogger but grew up into something really nice. When you're logged in as
an author, every page has an edit link at the bottom. You can decide in
your preferences whether you want to edit in plain textile/html or in a
rich text editor. For code, you pretty much need to be in the non-rich
(poor?) editor.
Code markup is simply:
<code lang="java">ensureThat(christmas, isHere());</code>
One thing that I would consider important is the ability to keep the
"source" of the website under source control. The downside of wikis
is that it's hard to then have the docs offline or distributable.
WordPress keeps all the content in a mysql database. Because it's
primarily a blogging engine, all content is subscribable so you would
get your offline version for free via your favourite feed reader. The
database content can be backed up with a single click using a backup plugin.
You can tag entries (either blog posts or pages) with multiple tags, and
people can subscribe to individual tags - say "tutorial" or "news" - or
to the whole site.
The theme (skin) is marked-up php/html and some css. I've put that under
source control in trunk/website/wordpress.
That said, the site looks nice, and I don't see showstoppers for the
0.9 release.
One final note, I kinda liked the other logo better :-)
No worries - I'll see about restoring the, ahem, logo :)
Cheers,
Dan
