Re: [SFD-discuss] OSM support for wiki ???

by Frederic Muller - SFI

Dear Ingeniero, The Open Street Map of all teams is located at http://cgi.softwarefreedomday.org/2010/map.shtml As soon as you register your team (=fill the registration form, and validate it through the email you receive after that) your team will appear there. For maintenance reason we try not to add too many plug ins into the wiki. We've had issues in the past where plugins would stop to be available for new moin moin releases and we're left with contributed content that we don't know how to handle. I hope this solves your issue. Thanks. Fred On 07/29/2010 10:03 AM, Ingeniero Forigua wrote: > Good evenenig > > My name is Diego Forigua and I currently work for the event in bogota > colombia.

Any decent site, whether CMS, Wiki or done the right way as plain HTML, should have those items. Going from one to another does not necessitate removal of those valuable pieces. e.g. cron: find /var/www/vhost1 -mtime -1 -print ¦ awk '{...}' \ | tidy > recent.html > Or when you want that everybody can edit > a CMS its hard to administer all the levels of access, too. > > So splitting this gives us more flexibility - and also if one goes down, > we still will have the other one (that is, if the reason is not a > general server failure) Ok. It's something I will think about. /Lars

Templates and keywords are always useful. In wikis "categories" tend to be the only way to have keywords. /Lars

The problem is when you try to make a CMS out of a wiki you have to remove all the cool features like breadcrumbs, Recentchanges or LinkTo-Search. Or when you want that everybody can edit a CMS its hard to administer all the levels of access, too. So splitting this gives us more flexibility - and also if one goes down, we still will have the other one (that is, if the reason is not a general server failure) Regards, Thilo -- XING: https://www.xing.com/profile/Thilo_Pfennig - LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/tpfennig SFD 2010 http://softwarefreedomday.org/

The CMS has never been thought for teams initially. But we're thinking of new ways to address issues as we see them happening.
