[ilugd] moinmoin and mediawiki
hi can anyone who has used both moinmoin and mediawiki give a heads up on the comparative performance of the two - i am interested in ease of use for the end user, security and configurability. Yes, i have STFWed, but would like to have an opinion from the practical point of view -- regards kg http://www.livejournal.com/users/lawgon tally ho! http://avsap.org.in ಇಂಡ್ಲಿನಕ್ಸ வாழ்க! ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

If you manage a wiki where there are one or more pages which you would like to keep under your control (e.g. the frontpage), moin would be a better choice. There are some advantages of mediawiki too. I like its automatic generation of table of contents(which looks better than the TableOfContents macro in moin). Besides mediawiki being based on sql is probably going to scale better than moin which is flat file on disk based. This also means that moin is easier to backup, but that is not too big a point for moin. - Sandi -- Sandip Bhattacharya |[EMAIL PROTECTED] Puroga Technologies Pvt.

Secondly, how is the revert feature? as far as i can see, if a spammer hits a page, and someone else edits it after that, it is not possible to revert to what it was previous to the spam. -- regards kg http://www.livejournal.com/users/lawgon tally ho! http://avsap.org.in ಇಂಡ್ಲಿನಕ್ಸ வாழ்க! ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Re: [ilugd] moinmoin and mediawiki
in infinite wisdom Sandip Bhattacharya spoke thus on 08/31/05 13:26: Besides mediawiki being based on sql is probably going to scale better than moin which is flat file on disk based. This also means that moin is easier to backup, but that is not too big a point for moin. - Sandi I tried running mediawiki once - it was extremely slow. Granted, I was running it on a shared web host and the database was shared between mediawiki as well as mambo. Hence you may have to look into caching techniques (it is given in the mediawiki faq). Another option you may want to look into is the Pmwiki- it does not require a database backend and is quite feature packed. http://rajshekhar.net/content/view/24/26/ -- Raj ShekharY!IM : lunatech3007 blog : http://rajshekhar.net/blog home : http://rajshekhar.net Disclaimer : http://rajshekhar.net/disclaimer ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
