I've been thinking about if it'd be better to have the lyx-wiki at www.lyx.org (sadly, I don't have access to any suitable server where it could stay for a longer time) Do you have an opinion about wether it's good to keep the lyx-wiki on Baruch's site, or if it could go to www.lyx.org? (A php-based wiki, e.g. http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/ ought to easy) Here are som pros, cons and unknowns as to keeping it where it is: + Server already exists, works and Baruch doesn't mind it. + Good for testing the concept, i.e. is a lyx wiki worth having? ? Backup and persistence, will it keep working? - Missing functionality: * Can't delete pages, i.e. don't misspell new page names * Not possible to upload files (e.g. .lyx- and .layout-files) * Can't use "subpages" (makes for a more complicated structure) - No administrative control, e.g. * Can't have restricted access for certain operations (delete...) - More difficult to export information to another format (.lyx) I'd say that the worst two drawbacks are not being able to delete pages and not being able to use "subpages". Both of these could be fixed on Baruch's site if he'd be willing to update his server version and enable page deletion. As to uploading .lyx- and .layout-files, that would be nice, but since they are text-files you could in principle copy and paste. Then it'd be more interesting to be able to upload small screenshots, or a small .tar-ball. Anyway, this is not something that's in a rush, but I thought I'd check the situation before, in case I decide to mail Baruch and ask if he could upgrade his wiki server etc. /Christian -- Christian Ridderstr�m http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
