Realized I never sent an announcement here. I think you folks'd be really interested in checking out what we've been working on:
http://localwiki.org We just did our first general-public software release. There's lots of cool stuff going on. Having worked on the DavisWiki (http://daviswiki.org) code for many, many years [which was a fork of MoinMoin], we really relished the opportunity to design a new, modern wiki engine without the burden of legacy support. Cool bits: * Everything is stored as HTML5. We threw out wiki markup. * Visual editing! And it's consistent and fun! * .. Using a highly-hacked ckeditor. We're hoping to work on the new visualeditor ya'll have been working on. Exciting! * The basis of our work was creating a flexible versioning, diffing and merging framework for Django, called django-versionutils. With this, we can easily version any Django model, diff any Django fields, and create new, custom diff handlers (for, say, GeometryFields or ImageFields :) This allows us to wiki-fy any sort of structured data, too. * this lets us make things like versioned, diffable comments a'la liquidthreads really easily. * Really cool map stuff / really-easy map editing :) I made this code walkthrough screencast a few months back which you might find interesting: http://vimeo.com/25385510 (though it's a bit long -- sorry!) & we've got a dev site here: https://dev.localwiki.org Anyway, would love to work together on anything and everything we can! (WMF folks: we're in SF, too) -Philip (Apologies if you're seeing this email twice. My first send was apparently silently rejected) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
