The story is quite a long one, but in short it is that I am unh= appy with it. It has been a solid piece of software for us, but the user regi= stration process is broken. People cannot sign up to it. Spam bots can. It do= es not look very nice and all in all it is written in PHP. >>=20 >> The original plan was to port our design to it, but actually it is easier = just to write some wiki stuff into the web app where other parts already exis= t. So I decided to use our web app and add two things: An editor for the page= s, a place to upload files and a big function that renders the pages. That is= about it. >>=20 >> This wiki uses markdown. The syntax is very similar to the Dokuwiki syntax= with exception of images, tables and some other smaller things. But markdown= is widely used. Loads of people have probably used it somewhere else before.= Also this is handy because I did not have to implement something that render= s my own syntax. >>=20 >> I have been working on a unified account system which is coming along nice= ly. I have also been working on a converter that is porting all content from = Dokuwiki to the new wiki. Unfortunately this is not the easiest thing. >>=20 >> The =E2=80=9Cnew=E2=80=9D wiki is currently available at https://wiki.dev.= ipfire.org/. >>=20 >> Please feel free to browse around and have a look what works well and what= doesn=E2=80=99t. All in all the converter converts a lot itself and I think = the pages look nice and clean. But some things cannot be converted so there m= ight be some stuff that we have to do manually. >>=20 >> The biggest of those are tables that do not follow the normal standard. Th= e one on the index page for example is such a table. >>=20 >> The second thing that does not work very well is paths. Loads of links are= broken and point at arbitrary stuff. The wiki now follows the usual filesyst= em approach with its URLs (: are / now) and you can go back with =E2=80=9C..= =E2=80=9D and remain in the same directory with =E2=80=9C.=E2=80=9D or by usi= ng no prefix. >>=20 >> I also decided not to import the whole history of the wiki. I am not sure = if there is any value in it. The data is old and there are tons of images tha= t we no longer need. Also Dokuwiki has a nice API to go through all existing = pages and going back into the archive is a bit more difficult. >>=20 >> So, please have a look around. Log in. Edit things. I will probably run th= e import again. Please help me find bugs and send me an email. >>=20 >> I would like to switch over as soon as possible. >>=20 >> Best, >> -Michael >> _______________________________________________ >> Documentation mailing list >> Documentation(a)lists.ipfire.org >> https://lists.ipfire.org/mailman/listinfo/documentation >=20 > =E2=80=94=20 > I will abandon this email address soon,=20 > You can reach me at > carlo.fusco(a)pm.me >=20 >=20 >=20 =E2=80=94=20 I will abandon this email address soon,=20 You can reach me at carlo.fusco(a)pm.me --===============4874202741420721136==--
