Re: wiki for PEAR

Toby did the user comments. I guess he still has the patches. Arnaud. Justin Patrin wrote:

About a year and half ago i worked on integrating a wiki to pearweb. I had it fully working at the time. I believe i still have the patch so i'll bring up to date, does that sound ok ?

Yes, please resurrect old patches so that we can possibly integrate them before/after the current work. On a related note, does anyone know where the user-comments patch went? I know that someone had it working and I helped to test it for XSS but it just went nowhere after that. Does anyone remember who was working on that? I can't seem to find it in my mail archives.

Hi everyone, One tool that seems to be popping up in several requests is a wiki. Until we get upgraded hardware, this is out of the question for technical reasons, but the good news is that upgraded hardware is imminent, stay tuned for details (a few of us are hard at work off-list to implement important changes in areas such as this one). In the past, there was debate about the merits of a wiki for PEAR.

I am

primarily concerned about wiki spam, and about centralizing

information.

Those who have experience with wikis, how would you solve these two problems? 1) making sure the thing isn't inundated with spam 2) making sure that it is both simple and easy to search both the pear-dev mailing list and the wiki for information, and to link back

and

forth between the two. Incidentally, my experience with forum software is that it is basically a poor excuse for a mailing list with a good archival tool, so I am not in favor of this. Thanks, Greg
