BrianKoontz:Wikka

Revision [13068]

This is an old revision of BrianKoontz made by BrianKoontz on 2006-02-05 22:46:59.

I'm the coordinator for the Computer Science and Open Source Technology (OST) programs at North Lake College in Irving, TX. I've worked my way through several versions of the Wakka->Wacko->Wikka progeny line. Wakka dead-ended on me, while my Russian never did get any better with Wacko (no, I don't speak Russian, which made it very difficult to work with Wacko beyond the level of an end user). I'm currently using Wikka to host the course notes and other miscellaneous items for the OST program. I would like to see, at some point down the road, a merger of the best of features in both Wacko and Wikka...I believe both have their strong points, and it would be such a waste to see features in one lost on the other.

Wikka stuff

Wiki survey

Found this one on MeatballWiki: A corporate wiki survey from the University of Southern California and the City University of Hong Kong. Looks like they're giving away an iPod as an incentive to participate. Of course, you were going to participate without the incentive, weren't you?

Stuff I've written

I wrote a perl script to MigrateFromWackoWiki migrate my Wacko pages to Wikka. The code is documented, so I won't bore anyone with the details.

Stuff others have written that I've found useful

ACLsWithUserGroups Group ACLs -- A very elegant and simple solution for providing group-level granularity to ACLs.
SpellcheckHack -- Another nice mod. Some typos in the code as posted; see comments for details.
AnchorAction -- HTML anchors. Again, some minor code changes noted in comments to get this to work.
