Thursday evening, OSAF IT is planning to roll out an update to the wiki
backend. The primary purpose is to consolidate onto a released version of
the wiki codebase instead of an in-house fork. The secondary purpose is to
provide additional features not previously available.
The proposed site is available at http://twiki2.osafoundation.org/
All changes made to the live wiki up to the point of wiki switchover will of
course be preserved when we upgrade. So feel free to edit twiki2 for
testing; any changes made to twiki2 will be overwritten when we switch.
Last time I preannounced a switchover, people were kind enough to poke
around on the proposed site and report issues found. Any assistance in that
area would be appreciated.
Attempts have been made to preserve all look-and-feel as well as fix
outstanding issues. Search works again, Bug#NNNN works again, and utf-8
encoding is standard. Those sharp of eye will notice a "WYSIWYG" link added
which does indeed provide a WYSIWYG editor you are welcome to try. (This
isn't an ideal addition to the wiki skin in use, but the link had to go
somewhere for testing for now.)
There are other features that will be available with the upgrade that will
be outlined later (for instance hierarchical webs, making
Projects/Chandler/HomePage possible). And there's a solid list of very
obvious improvements that are essentially low-hanging fruit (mod_perl for
10x speed increase) and removal of /bin/view from the default paths.
Thanks for your review and patience.
