RasterWeb!Hmmm, I had considered going with the title “A few days late and 8 million short…”
Sorry, what I meant to say is, congrats to Adam for the one year anniversary of The Daily Source Code…
The “few days late” is reference to Audio Experiment #1, which was the first RasterWeb! Audio from 2004-08-18. Less than two weeks after that, renko was released…
As for the “8 million” that’s um, a reference to how many podcasts there are now, just one year later.
(You’re welcome.)
What’s the old saying, "Every program expands until it can read mail"?
I guess the same thing goes for hardware too nowadays: PSP going to get an email client (among other things)?
(My Nokia phone also does email, but really, to do email right, I obviously need to get a PSP!)
What’s the old saying “Let the Wiki win…”? (Or something like that…)
As mentioned in Weblog versus Wiki I was contemplating using MediaWiki for a project and good gosh was the install easy! It was almost too easy… You know, one of those “that’s it?” type installs you read about on weblogs…
Configuring took just a little bit of time… I wanted clean urls and to restrict editing to registered users. It took more time to find that info than it did to edit LocalSettings.php to do the right thing…
I still like UseModWiki for what it does, but so far MediaWiki is pretty damn nice…
Welcom back D-Money… Welcome back…
I have a dilemma, I want to set up a site that can accept input from a community. My choices, as I see them, are to set up a weblog (I would choose WordPress) or a wiki (most likely MediaWiki.)
My problem is that, while I think a wiki is more suited to the site I am creating, I worry that people will be afraid of contributing and editing pages. The potential users might be people who are unfamiliar with a wiki, and not quite sure how it works. Even in organizations where I’ve deployed wikis, people are often hesitant to add or modify things.
On the other hand, a weblog might be suitable because people would just have a simple comment box to fill in if they wanted to say something. Then again, saying something, or just responding to what posts the few authors might write, is a far cry from the openness of a wiki to those willing to contribute…
I’ve done plenty of WordPress installs, but while I’ve used plenty of MediaWiki sites out there, I’ve not set up my own yet. I don’t want familiarity of tools to limit me here though.
Hmmm, I’ll think about it for a bit, but any feedback on this is much appreciated…
