- With categories, there is a pause when you bring up the category page. e.g. http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/CategoryHomepage
- With categories, you can only list the pages in one way. The current Essay listings can be by name, creation date, changed date. - With categories, the list is "one-up" with a lot of wasted space on the left. - With categories, you must have one page for list item. With the current scheme, I can have (for example) 3x + 1 Problem, Collatz Conjecture, and Hailstone Sequence in the list, all linking to the same page. - The main manual work for the current listing is already done. To add a new page is only a small amount of incremental work. ----- Original Message ----- From: Raul Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, October 3, 2008 13:38 Subject: [Jgeneral] wiki and essays To: General forum <[email protected]> > Currently, J's wiki has a manually constructed page which lists > essays. > I think a better approach would be to have essays be a category and > then assign each essay to be in that category.
