I am working on a "concept" site for writing about the Civil War and am using PMWiki for the back-end maintenance of the articles. The idea is to have a library of elements / articles, images, video, etc. on the war that may be used as building blocks for telling a story, tracking one man's experience through the war.
It seems to me that using the Wiki "Print" function to display the stories is the best way to present the end story while keeping the essential structure of the Wiki in the background and accessible to my editors and authors. Eventually the Wiki will contain articles on all 6,000 +/- battles which occurred in the war and an unknown number of user contributed articles, photos, videos, etc. which may be "mashed-up" to form a story. My question regards the use of the print function to display the stories. Can you recommend a better way to do this? Do you foresee potential issues in scaling this to handle potentially 10,000 elements (or more) since the universe of soldiers is 6 million men? A sample story is on line at http://www.researchonline.net/timeline/brannan_jonathan_jackson.htm When you click on a picture in the story timeline, you will see that it goes to the Wiki "print" of the page/article. You can click on the article heading at the top to go to the Wiki for maintenance of the article. Thanks for your ideas / recommendations on this.
