Converted datetime.perl.org to run on Silki

2010-09-28 Thread Dave Rolsky

I converted the wiki from Kwiki to Silki.

Silki requires each user to have a separate account. If you'd like to 
claim your edits, please let me know your username and I'll edit the 
account so you can use it.


This software has spam checking (which seems to sort of work ;), requires 
a log in to edit, and adds rel=nofollow to all links. Hopefully some 
combination of those will help keep spam down.

I'm having difficulty registering. I may have goofed it. Now I'm getting
HTTP 404 messages.

 It was up and down while I tried to fix a bug.

 I see your account, so try going to the confirmation URI one more time. It
 should work now (I hope).

Uh, not yet. I'm still getting HTTP 404 pages.

On another front...

I've never before contributed open source software, written a Perl module, or 
even submitted a patch. Well, there's a first time for everything, and today's 
the day! I want to submit a patch to Silki. I think I've got rt.cpan.org 
figured 
out well enough. I have a Bitcard ID. Now I just have a few questions:  Is 
there 
a specific way to generate a diff? Must the before and after files be named 
something specific? Do I attach it as a diff file? The CPAN FAQ is vague on 
these points. (I'm using Microsoft Windows and the MKS Toolkit for diff, not 
GNU 
diff.)

As much coaching as you or anyone else care to provide an eager novice will be 
gratefully and graciously received.

(You're going to laugh at me when you see what the patch is. It's nonetheless 
an 
earnest, useful one, I think.)

You'll have to give me a hint (send me the URI privately if it's the 
confirmation URI).

I know nothing about Windows tools, and this is getting OT for the list, 
but ...


rt.cpan is fine for me, each module author has different preferences.

In my experience almost everyone prefers unified diffs. You can diff any 
two files (that started off as the same file), so the names don't matter 
too much. It's often handy when patching a cpan distro to simply copy the 
entire distro, and then do a recursive diff between the original directory 
and the directory with your changes.
