Flat files are not the issue for us, I think - it is one of how to get this more readily used so that people who know, learn, discover things about web2py can contribute to a new community manual. As far as I can see, http://wiki.python.org/ and the PyCon implementation (see the instructions, for example, at http://us.pycon.org/2009/openspace/): To create a page, just type a non-existing URL into your browser location (i.e. /2009/openspace/MyNewFancyOpenSpace ), and click 'Create Page'. The Wiki uses ReStructuredText<http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html>for the markup, and a ' Title<http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html#section-structure>' is required. Please note that *you must be logged in to create a new page*. As with other things here, we are trying to go _with_ the flow of the python community (we'll work from within that space to make improvements towards the broader community): mercurial for repository; sphinx for documentaiton; reStructuredText for Wiki (and python-istas don't seem to need WYSIWYG interface for that). Those interested can find the source code for how the pycon site sets up docutils, and handles wiki links at the source repository for pycon-tech, the code base for the django part of the pycon website (see http://us.pycon.org/2009/site/howto/; pycon.coderanger.com seems to be down at the moment; I've sent a note about it - that's the Trac and repository for pycon-tech). - Yarko > > > On May 3, 11:11 am, dlypka <[email protected]> wrote: > > Ok, I just took a look at pmwiki. > > It does have a nice Search features. > > But flat files, that is so yesterday... > > I would suggest using pmwiki features as the basis of the web2py wiki > > development Roadmap with implementation continuing in web2py. > > Just change the input UI to be WYSIWYG html.
