[hackers] Assorted

2003-07-31 Thread Aldon Hynes
Transparency:  I vote for letting lurkers be anonymous.  Although it does
come back to my earlier question:  Is there any nice way to make particular
posts only readable by a certain set of users.  Personally, I would even
allow anonymous people to post.  If they post anything unappropriate, the
admins/moderators can remove then posts.

In a nutshell, I like Neil's four levels of users, including differentiation
between authenticated lurkers and developers.

Wiki or Book:  I started doing things as books.  I haven't played with a
wiki module for Drupal.  Is there one?  I will load it and play with it and
provide my comments.  I do like the idea of Wiki for quickly changing things
and books for something more permanent.  I also like the idea of Wiki
requiring authentication, and books being transparent

Right now we are kinda opaque. People have to sign up to see whats going on.
I can do whatever with the Drupal permissions or even use a second instance
of Drupal for our internal communicaion. Are we okay with letting our
lurkers be anonymous? I plan on letting them have privileges to view most
things.

The book has a versioning system, so in that sense it is a wiki.
Anyone can edit it depending on permissions.
The one this missing from the wiki is the CapitaLized syntax that
automagically makes it a link. Otherwise, I kind of like it better, as
it is more linear in it's organization.

What other important parts of a wiki are there?
