dm93 * home AboutThisWiki

For most folks, RecentChanges and FrontPage are likely to be more useful; this is mostly administrative stuff for the maintainer...

converting episodes (newest 1st) to comments (newest last)...

25Mar2004: I'd really like something like the ESemWeb:WikiMarklet. ToDo. Meanwhile, I stick them in ESemWeb:DanConnolly

Jan2004: I'd really like a preview feature like MoinMoin?.

In fact, I'm a bit disenchanted with the "one big file" aspect of Zope. I'm too hooked to switch just now, but sufficiently disenchanted that I don't upload pictures as freely as I used to.

12Dec2003: need to rotate my logs. (see msg from ted Fri, 12 Dec 2003 17:05:25 -0500) I wonder if DebianPackage:zope-wiki is smart about that.

Aug2003: server hardware outage. Switched to ZoneEdit for DNS service. Hmm... where to keep notes about Gandi, the registrar I chose for dm93.org. InternetRealEstate?

11Sep2002: I think I'd like to try this ZSyncer thing. tried it (~Nov 2002). not impressed. Master/slave, not peer/peer. Not sure it handles all cases.

Hmm... 26Jan2001... how about an online version of the PileOfOwnersManuals?

On 23 Nov 2001, I upgraded dm93.org to zope 2.4 and installed this ZWiki product.

(see WikiWikiWeb:DanConnolly for history of DanC? and Wiki stuff).

I got critical clues from Installing and Upgrading Zope 2.X and from the friendly folks in #zope on Open Projects .

I'm noodling on what the write access policy is; I changed it so that authenticated users can write (I think).

ZopeTweaks: I changed the ZWiki search box to use GET (why the heck did they use POST? overuse of POST is evil ).

For my reference, let's keep the management thingy handy.

Hmm... I kinda like this wiki; I have an older wiki that I'd like to import; let's call it FebShoalWiki. And let's pick up the ManagingExpectations idea there...

bliki wish and design sketch --connolly, 30 Jul 2004 00:00:00 +0000 reply
I want a bliki.

Hmm... maybe it's just a matter of hacking the code behind RecentChanges. design sketch: each topic in the wiki gets a "most recent episode" date and text fields, as well as a last modified field, based on the DDmmmYYYY? tags and/or yyyy-mm-dd tags. Then I'd make a WebLog? node ala RecentChanges out of them.

logs and DB getting out of control --connolly, 2 Aug 2004 00:00:00 +0000 reply
I told ted ages ago that I'd upgrade to the debian packages for zope, hoping they'd manage the logs. Hmm... ZopeWiki:ZopeOnDebian

How big is my zope database?

upgraded to ZWiki-0.34.0 --connolly, 29 Nov 2004 00:00:00 +0000 reply
upgraded zwiki to ZWiki-0.34.0.tgz It was a bit bumpy. Thanks, sm, for the help in #zope! dm93.org is now on flanders, the new people.w3.org. I'm using the debian zope package, so my logs are now under control. Hmm... there's a zope2.7 package that uses modern python...

unborked LocalFS? --connolly, Tue, 06 Nov 2004 00:00:00 +0000 reply
Finally restored all my LocalFS?-based pictures and such to health. Used LocalFS-1.3-andreas.tar.gz, thanks to some folks in #zope. Upgraded to DebianPackage:zope2.7 while I was at it.

RFE: email updates --connolly, Tue, 09 Nov 2004 04:27:25 +0000 reply
ToDo: ZopeWiki RFE: email updates.

Hmm... Generic form update by email service?

My WearableGizmo, like many platforms, knows that ESemWeb:IntegrityIsJobOne when it comes to composing mail; pending edits survive reboots and such? but I doubt pending form submissions do.

testing Monkey Journal --connolly, Mon, 21 Feb 2005 15:57:54 +0000 reply

So Norm is Joining the Folksonomy Fray with RelTag. Yay! typed links finally hit the mainstream! So I'm thinking upgradingmy wiki to grok all this structured collaboration goodness going on..

Testing Monkey Journal ... ooh! it does The Right Thing with links dragged from firefox! e.g.

hmm... how about excerpting...

Monkey Journal has category support built into the interface
Monkey Journal

hmm... tolerable.

spell-checking is nice...

I wonder if it knows that IntegrityIsJobOne.

hmm... can I view source while editing somehow?

Can't seem to follow links while editing.

Heh... Preferences is misspelled in the menu.

restoring google ads --connolly, Wed, 23 Mar 2005 03:19:01 +0000 reply
hmm... can't figure out where the "truth" for the page templates is... maybe the content is cached... adding a comment should flush the cache, I'd think...

toward episodic publishing --connolly, Wed, 08 Jun 2005 05:07:01 +0000 reply
I think what I write is more in the blog genre than the wiki genre; I don't actually collaboratively work toward conventional wisdom; I just jot down 1st-person thoughts. Thinking about how to migrate my content to the modern idioms (RSS, comments, trackback, tags, etc.) I re-discover my experiment with Zope templates of 2005-01-01 00:33.
