The Mindtouch folks use Firefox 3... I'm not disagreeing with your general assumptions. I feel the same way. I'm disagreeing with your blanket application of said assumptions. >> and it's open source and it even runs on linux, why does it matter that >> it's .net? > > I would not consider VM "running" on Linux. >From my brief experience, Deki runs *very well* under Mono on SUSE, I can't speak for any other distros, but there are prebuilt packages for just about all of 'em, and there are turnkey virtual machines, so you don't even have to set it up before you give it a go. This is the most standards compliant wiki I've used. Unlike other wikis, this edits and stores everything in xhtml. It uses stylesheets instead of embedding styles. It has a pretty decent WYSIWYG editor, and a million extensions, plugins, mashups, etc. You can code extensions in any language you want, so you don't even have to dirty your hands with .Net unless you feel like hacking on the core. I'm not even that attached to this particular wiki, I'm just a bit irritated that you'd write off what appears to be a very good solution based on preconceived notions about a language/environment. I think you should give it a shot. justin -- http://justinhileman.com _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
