Hello David and y'all, > Found another one recently: did you know that the > first Wiki was developed in HyperCard... then the > guy looked at porting it to MC...
Not developped "in" HyperCard. Only *inspired* by it. Btw, the guy's name is Ward Cunningham, he's a colleague of Kent Beck (which visited us recently while he was on tour); together, they started the whole trend of "Agile" methodologies, e.g. Rapid Application Development (RAD), not unlike what we're used to with HyperCard. > Take a look at this about the history of wikis > http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiHistory Check out this page of their wiki too: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?HyperCard It's a wiki, so I took the liberty of adding my own bit at the end of the page. It seemed like a good place to plug FreeCard because (1) FreeCard is being programmed in Java, (2) the methodology used is the same one being used by the members and promoters of this wiki, e.g. XP, and (3) I am a *member* of the XP group being hosted on this wiki. Small world, eh! :)) PS: Blogs are very hot right now. FreeCard has its own blog now, at : http://www.communautic.uqam.ca/blog/ . A blog is similar to a wiki, and many existing blogs were crafted with wiki source-code. But the 'kicker' is that all blogs (& apparently some wikis too) can be remotely controlled via any client that supports XML-RPC, and ... I've just started a project to craft such a client with MetaCard. IOW, you will soon be able to use my MC-stack to edit blogs and wikis, from within MetaCard & FreeGUI, without the need for a *separate* web-browser or e-mail client. It's all coming together. What a trip! :)) Alain Farmer __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
