Hello, (After Tzafrit Cohen yelled at me a bit): I was mistaken. I forgot to mention I had to install IkiWiki on a CentOS 6 system. Being unfamiliar with Perl, its modules, and RPM-based distros, it took me a while to understand what I'm doing (bexol zot, psixometri namoox). There's a .deb package for Debian and Debian-based distros for IkiWiki. That makes installation easier, I tried it on a Debian host I own.
Oh, I've just remembered. The wiki default creation script of IkiWiki is a bit weird. It creates the wiki under your $HOME, and then when moving it around the filesystem to an appropriate location, you have to manually edit the configuration file for that wiki and run a setup on it again. A minor annoyance though. Some points to make out about Linux.org.il's features as I see it now after reading your emails: - It should be a Wiki editable online - Should be served as static HTML pages just because it sounds awesome - Should be based on text files rather than MySQL or other databases engines, just because it's cool and you can distribute the content easily that way on a GitHub/BitBucket instead of forcing users to start installing database engines and distribute all kinds of database dumps I'm hungry. So I guess we are going to stick with IkiWiki and hope we won't have to use a RPM-based distro on the final HaMakor server that will host the website. Next steps: - Me learning how to theme IkiWiki (should be easy through one of its plugins) - We deciding on who's going to graphically design the Linux.org.ilwebsite :( - @board: are we willing to pay for this or do we stick to some ugly GIMP-based mockup that someone can hack for us?
