Integrating Blogs and Wikis — A Higher Unifying Framework

Minding the Planet: Integrating Blogs and Wikis — A Higher Unifying Framework is a very long title for a very good idea: combining wikis and blogs.

TikiWiki is an example of something like this, but it’s serious overkill.

I’ll have to keep looking, I suppose.

I found a decent securable wiki. Check it out here.

The only problem I encountered is an html entities warning, but a quick googling provided the remedy.

Charset Not Supported Workaround documents how to fix it.

The Great Wiki Hunt

Still looking for a Wiki for my site. Since it supports PHP, perl, and Java (cgi — bah), I have a number of items from which to choose. Finding the “right one” is proving to be problematic. I have WikiMedia, DokuWiki, and Blog:CMS (has a DokuWiki built in) installed on localhost.

Screw it, I can always change later.

However, with a wiki, there’s a bit more involved if you change rendering engines. Although I could write an xform or pull down the site using the (hopefully supported) XMLRPC API, getting around to it is something else entirely. I suppose that should be considered a constraint.

EditThisPagePHP looks good for just knocking together page(s). I played around with it a bit, and it’s really quite easy to install and use, but I don’t think it really meets my needs.

Purple-T-Wiki meets this as well — I could probably learn enough PHP to secure it. The only problem with it is the fact that everything is converted to lowercase. Bah.
