Nice, but what would be the use-cases for those features on linuxaudio.org? Basically we recommend flossmanuals.net for collaborative documentation. It'd also be a bit of work to [write a script to] convert the ~4000 existing wiki pages (mostly apps) to the xwiki; and write a custom app (or plugin) to visualize tags/categories like eg. http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/apps/categories/jack Besides that, I'm somewhat averse to installing JAVA on the LAO server. > It's quite a bit more than a wiki app, you can write applications with > it as well.

Cool. However, I don't see the benefit of a Timeline for the wiki.linuxaudio.org site. I think we'd rather want some more music related features like f.i. http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/abc :) but maybe that's just me. best, robin > Niels > http://nielsmayer.com > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-dev mailing list > Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
