Does anyone here use @wiki ?

Does anyone here use @wiki ( http://atwiki.com ) ? Any thoughts about the service? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Would this be a good way to create a wiki for an open-source project? I've been thinking about creating a wiki for the onTap framework and DataFaucet. I'm not thrilled about the idea of installing the PHP wiki that's part of Trac... and personally the idea of a hosted service like this works for me, since I'm already using google groups for the forum / mailing lists... My big question would be would this be something the CF community would embrace for an OS project or is the separately hosted wiki likely to put people off? This would just give me the ability to get a wiki up quickly without taking my attention away from other projects like creating a scaffolding wizard or giving user-group presentations. But if it puts people off then of course it won't be very helpful. :) Thanks, ike -- s. isaac dealey  ^  new epoch isn't it time for a change?      ph: 781.769.0723 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog

Personally, I'd slap canvas on there, and that way you really control the code, even if you don't need to, yet. http://canvas.riaforge.org/ I'm still torn between making people learn wiki-eese, or using FCKEditor tho... But hosted deals seem to be not unpopular, so, whatever floats the boat, man! ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- Thanks Den ... I have considered putting canvas on there... I don't know that I'm ready for there to be anything people need to log in for on the official site just yet... and throwing a cf wiki on there, even though it might be Ray's Canvas kind of opens up a can of worms I really am not in a rush to get into. It's not a problem with Canvas, but rather that as soon as Canvas is on there, then I've got to start working on a single-sign-on system... and that's going to lead to many hours working on things that I'm afraid are going to detract from the goal of growing the community. and while it would be easy enough to build a wiki myself using the framework, I keep finding myself running into a bunch of problems with the hosting because of their security sandboxing... which yes, I know, I've always promoted the framework as being workable in a shared-hosting solution, and yes indeedy, it's working there right now, but the sandboxing has proved a bit challenging for the ORM. I can't complain too much though, because this hosting account was given to me by the good folks at HostMySite in support of the broader ColdFusion community. :) Anyway, I'm not dead set against using Canvas or even building my own Wiki ... or for that matter even installing the Trac wiki... I'd prefer not to, but ultimately I want to do what's going to be best for the community irrespective of my personal preferences.

How about making the app available on riaforge where all the other CF stuff is hosted these days? That gives you a wiki out of the box. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- -- mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/

These projects actually are on RIAForge as is and they have wikis there. The issue with the RIAForge wiki is that nobody but the project owner can edit them right now, which means they don't really encourage community participation. Ray wants to update the wiki eventually to allow other people to edit them, but there's no telling when he'll have the time. -- s. isaac dealey  ^  new epoch isn't it time for a change?      ph: 781.769.0723 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. This a bit of a drawback, actually; a set of registered editors would be a minimum for an open source project. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- -- mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/
