Who I am
I'm an adjunct computer science instructor at North Lake College and Amberton University, both in the Dallas, TX area. I'm currently using Wikka to host internal content for a client with my consulting business. I am working to integrate Wikka publicly in both my consulting and automotive businesses. I've been an open source advocate for many years, and try to use open source whenever possible. My contributions to Wikka is a token of my appreciation for a great OSS application maintained and supported by a very knowledgeable group of individuals.
I am the newest second-newest member of the CreditsPage WikkaCrew. I help out with general site maintenance (welcomes, responding to queries, etc.), and am currently working revisions to the FilesAction, HTMLHandler HTMLHandler, and whatever other issues in the issues database catch my interest.
Why I'm here
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 internal content for a client with my consulting business. 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
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.
- WordcountAction: Needed a quick and dirty wordcount action. Needs more work when time permits...
- LinkcountAction: Count links in a page. Needs optimization work.
- CloneACLs: A patch you can apply to handlers/page/clone.php that will optionally copy the ACLs from the source page to the new page while cloning a page (slated for inclusion in release 1.1.7).
- HTMLHandler: Export pages as "standalone" HTML documents (without headers, footers, comments, etc.).
- BookmarkManager: A de.lirio.us/de.licio.us social bookmarking clone to handle tagging of bookmarks, notes, etc. Also works nicely as a personal bookmark manager. Currently in beta test here. Please post comments/suggestions to the BookmarkManager project page.
- WikiInAVacuum: More steps to further increase the invisibility of your wiki. This is an extension of InvisibleWiki, so please access that document first before moving on to this.
Skunkworks
- A screenshot of some code I'm working on to implement threaded comments.
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.
- MySkin Skins -- Testing this on my own site. Still some minor glitches to work through on this, but it's pretty slick once you get it working!
- FilesManagementSolution -- File upload handler and file list action.
Stuff I'd like to implement if/when I get the time
- A front-end to permit restricted pre-defined operations on a database (i.e., field updates, queries, etc.)
- A quick and dirty handler (such as {{s}}) to insert a sig in the editor
- A "store and continue edit" button on the editor (user would be able to continue editing from the same point)
