Cv Wiki



Sister

CvWiki is a clone of Ward's code that

  • uses flat files for text,
  • supports direct transclusion of external web pages
  • stores backlinks with their pages rather than searching for them (so backlinks pop up immediately)
  • and is fully integrated with CVS so you've got
    • unlimited undo,
    • no edit collisions, and, best of all
    • WayBackMode.

There are several smaller twiddles in it too, like debugged ?LinkPatterns and ?EmphasisPatterns. But it's all backward-compatible with the existing wikibase.

A large amount of this clone is still under Ward's copyright, but unless Ward has objections you should be able to pick up a copy of Pete's hack at http://home.san.rr.com/CVWiki (this link seems to be broken). Pete's parts of this are all under LGPL.

Be warned that installing the thing properly will require you to install CVS (see http://www.cyclic.com ) which is free but requires a little expertise. And CvWiki comes with zero documentation at the moment ... but see peoples' experiences on http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?CvWiki.

More information (and up to date ?) may be found at http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?CvWiki.

Is this a split between two servers at c2.com (/cgi/wiki and /cgi/wikibase) ?
