[squeak-dev] wiki?

johnmci
Someone asked me for a squeak based wiki the other day and I'm  
wondering if there is a pre-built
one around, or recommendations about which one I should load into a  
pharo, or seaside image

I need something:

(a) lightweight (low memory usage)
(b) easy for people to use that likely won't require opening a manual  
or glancing much at help page.
(c) storage will be backed to a file system directory, minimal admin  
skills involved here.

Hi John,

If you are not in hurry, we are just preparing the Aida/Scribo beta2,
with non-Smalltalk end-user friendliness as first priority. This will be
(as the current beta1 already is) a one-click image, running out of the
the box.

Scribo Wiki has also a rich text editor to be user friendly even more.
But you can work with usual Wiki syntax as well.

As you probably know, Scribo also runs the Squeak website, so even in
beta it is already a  technology proven in practice.

Persistency is currently image based, with auto-snapshot every hour.
Attachments like images are stored to disk. No additional setup for this
is required.

Bst regards
Janko

I hope you don't keep each image... :)

I hope in a week or so. We made a decision to go beta, just time is yet
an issue.

No need :) But it is recommended to do a nightly backup, so in case you
just don't have a luck with some image, you can restore one day old one.

FYI, the XML based persistency is on the way. SIXX based is already
ready for testing, but we'd like even better, more human readable and
Smalltalk independent content storage, so that it will be easily
transferable to some other CMS. To minimize "vendor" lock therefore :)
