from "About This Wiki"
I started at ChoosingaWiki, and followed my nose to their source
I grabbed usemod091.tar.gz released February 16, 2001 (md5 sum: f12eb12534a8a843acb1df0df38754fa).
It only took about 3 minutes to set up. I'm happy.
TextFormattingExamples and TextFormattingRules
Local configuration: I allow HTML markup, esp a href, but only "safe" tags. Not sure what that means.
ug... gotta do InterWikiLinks?.
But it doesn't keep full revision history. TWiki does, but installation looks hard.
: It can if you ask it nicely. In the script, replace sub ExpireKeepFile with
sub ExpireKeepFile {
}
: i.e. stub out the function. Alternatively, set the number of expiry days to something astronomical, like 999999999999999999.

from "about this wiki"
imported from Feb 2001 wiki "Home Page":
Web architecture is part technical design, but it is also about building convivial places to live, work and play, in the sense of traditional architecture, e.g. the work of ChristopherAlexander?.
TedNelson? argues in FutureOfInformation? that "the main concerns in software development, as well as in movie making, are its effects on the mind and heart of the viewer."
I (DanC?) am setting up a Wiki tonight (18 Feb 2001) because when I'm doing research in the Web, I'm frustrated for lack of
- ScalableAccessControl? - email is a good way to reach just the people you want, but it doesn't separate notification from delivery, and there's no way to update. HTTP access control is too burdensome to administer. I want to deploy a combination of ZeroKnowledgeProofsWithDigestAccess?.
- HypertextChat - I want instant messaging with semantic links and blockquotes.
- a HypertextMailUserAgent?
- MobileWebIntegration -- palm pilot synchronization, mobile phone contact lists, etc.
- AmayaRobustness? -- hypertext editing in Amaya feels so good until kerpow! it crashes. And so many web sites are full of such bad HTML that it's no wonder that Amaya has a hard time digesting them.
Ralph and Tim and I talked about setting up a collaborative gizmo to discuss WebArchitecture?; this is DanC?'s latest attempt. I'd like to share thoughts on
- WebArchitecture?
- SemanticWeb?, e.g. CirclesAndArrowsDiagrams?
- ManagingExpectations in the web: planning, training, accountability, etc.
with folks like
Other thoughts on CollaborationTools? and WorkFlowIdioms?: ResearchNotebook and bibliography tools and practices:
- Bookmarks are great for user agent customization
(esp toolbars) but they're subject to the TyrannyOfTheHierarchy? (see WWWn? paper on a better way to organize bookmarks) and bookmarking doesn't usually achieve the goal the user intended; for example, ususally, when I bookmark something, I have in mind to tell somebody else about it. So my bookmark list is actually a liability, as much as an asset: it's a TODO list of things that I want to link from somewhere else in the web or tell somebody about. The IE bookmark facility is better than the NS one in that it brings up the "properties" thingy right away and allows you to capture the information about why you bookmarked something right at the time.
er... where does annotea fit in?
Acks: WardsWiki?.
see also: AboutThisWiki; in particular: this Wiki should
support normal HTTP Put-based editing; those who have
real editing web clients shouldn't have to use forms,
i.e. PoorMansPut?, for editing. Of course, this requires
that the TextFormattingRules become a two way transformation
from plain text to HTML and back.
