Sam, do you or someone have the abillity/will to give me sufficient rights to install a small cgi script on an apache webserver somewhere
with filesystem access?
If not, what about servlet engine + database access?

If so. I will select one based on ease of maintenence, setup, "security" and set it up by the end of next week.

Thank you,

-Andy

So how about some feedback:
1. Wiki's - love 'em or hate 'em?

Love 'em, and think they would provide (a) a good way to write ad hoc
documentation, (b) a good way to host certain discussions. At my day job
we use an internal wiki for documentation almost exclusively, and
sometimes as an effective public brainstorming tool. (And we're fairly
centrally located--for distributed, asynchronous discussion a wiki is even
more useful.)

2. JSPWiki - good choice or bad choice?

Never used it, so no real opinion, although there seem to be a number of
wiki's that are much more popular (perhaps not in java though). There's a
big list of wiki impls on Ward's Wiki at
<http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiEngines>, of course.

(Most wiki clones, JSPWiki included, seem to be GPLed, if that matters to
anyone.)

3. Scope of the wiki(s) - ((Turbine) and (Avalon)), Jakarta

or Apache?

I'd like to see a wiki with at least jakarta scope.

One option might be to use a wiki that supports "namespaces", or a
federation of wikis with intra-wiki links, so that one could create a
"sub-wiki" per project but still support "global" cross-linking.

For example, a intra-wiki link might look like Turbine:OracleHowTo versus
plain ol' OracleHowTo.

Alternatively, a simple convention of prefixing the project name might be
sufficient for a shared wiki namespace, but might need support from some
WikiGnomes.

4. Hosting - apache.org or external

Something internal would seem official.

5. Timing - now, soon, later or never

Soon.


If I can use this wiki (or this makes it easier to set up another wiki)
for other jakarta/apache projects, I'd be more than happy to help out
however I can. Please keep me posted, either via jakarta-general, by
pointing out where this discussion is happening, or via a direct note.
