[Gillian Densmore]

Thanks again Roy!
It looks like I might like Bliki(Blog+Wiki) for this.

I tried out TikiWiki ages ago. It seemed pretty fun to use then. I've
googled for what ones are out their with easy to follow how to's just try
them out.
DokuWiki. Pm, Pb and FOSWiki.
Any ideas what to look for or articles on trying a Wiki as Blog+WebyWeb
helper?
In a Weird way that might be what I'm looking for. And as  and Glen pointed
out because the likely triekier part of colaberating on articles or  how
to's is baked in.

Anyway thanks again for the fresh insperation and ideas. I reely apreciate
that.

[Gillian Densmore]

Thanks for the idea Roy!
I think I want something  possibly in the middle. I don't know how simple
that's to do though.
I have this wered picture in my head where I think I want a way where some
how some people can edit and subit articles together. But yet also to avoid
trolling problems a moderator could also say just so you know we need you
to clean up a articles.

I seem to recall at one time Twiki was trying to be a middle between the
extremes of Wiki and blogging.

I simply don't know what's out there that can have a nice colaberation a
bit like Wiki's do as well as submit a article for posting like the
wordpress's can do as well.


Htmly looks reely sexy as well btw. Thanks for the link.

Re: [FRIAM] Quick cross posting re:website maker sugestions

[Sarbajit Roy]

There are hierarchies for multi-user blogs.

For eg. would you want multiple users to be able to edit the same
article (like a wiki) ? Or do you want a single user to write "his"
article, which an administrator can edit / delete.

HTMLY (http://www.htmly.com) is light enough for the 2nd type of
blog.and simulates Wordpress well enough with minimal resources and no
databases, rendering well enough on (Android) mobiles

eg:
http://www.wikipediacritics.com/category/wikipedia-garbage-in-garbage-out

Re: [FRIAM] Quick cross posting re:website maker sugestions

[Owen Densmore]

Call me old fashioned but I think the search for the Next Great Framework
is a never ending quest, always ending with yet another Better Great
Framework.

The good news is that most folks know this now and the new direction is for
much simpler solutions. Like: http://moonjs.ga/ and https://vuejs.org/.

I would check out the MVC ToDo list: http://todomvc.com/ for examples.

OTOH, Medium https://medium.com/ is a great solution for those who want to
Write rather than Fuss With Things. I've used it and have given up on blogs
etc.

Medium is popular not only because it makes publishing/content so easy, but
also because the Discuss part of posts are "first class" in that they
become tiny posts of their own. A Thread so to speak.

I think what I have is this mental picture where somehow some people (or

Re: [FRIAM] Quick cross posting re:website maker sugestions

[glen ☣]

It's not clear to me what you mean by "stuff".  Are you talking solely about 
multiple people blogging to the same site?  Or are you talking about 
collaboration on text documents?  Or do you have in mind something broader ... 
like collaborative mind-mapping?

Here's a list of some collaborative systems:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_collaborative_software
