Hi Rich, Can't speak for Alexey, but I think he mentioned he hopes to get a bit done over the holidays. I believe he's also looking for contributors who can take over the project.
I think that Beta1 mostly works. There were a few minor issues, but it should more or less work. I have no idea how much change would there be between it and the next release though. > Meanwhile, Pimki hasn't had any releases since 9/15. Assaph, can > you give us any idea about your release plans? On 11/10, you said Since Instiki development is done in spurts and since the packaging format is yet to be determined - all of which is not really good for Pimki - I have decided to build Pimki on top of KirbyBase[1] as a backend. For this end I am writing a ActiveRecord adapter for it[2]. Once done (soon) I will take whatever is there in the Instiki trunk (hopefully there will be a release soon) and rebuild Pimki on top of it. After that the ties between Instiki and Pimki will be looser - I will make sure that you can import webs exported by Instiki, the look & feel will be rougly similar (I DO plan to borrow as much code :-), but the functionality and underlying arch will be somewhat different. I have tons of ideas and work for Pimki, but the backend hussles have been slowing me down. You can take a look at Pimki2 (in CVS) for some of the work - it's functional but in a zombie state until the backend change is complete. Instiki is a fine project, and I think it's a damn shame that it peters out like this. Currently if you're after a lite-but-stable wiki I2 & Soks are better, and if you're after a personal wiki Pimki is better. Instiki falls in the grey area between, and with Alexey so busy it doesn't get enough loving to keep it alive. I do not believe I am the right person to maintain Instiki, but if there are interested parties - please contact Alexey! (He won't bite, he's a nice - but overworked - chap :-) Cheers, Assaph [1] http://www.netpromi.com/kirbybase_ruby.html [2] http://rubyforge.org/projects/ackbar _______________________________________________ Instiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/instiki-users
