Re: [PLUG] WHAT is the question? Re: To wiki ...

I think the one key to the question is how Wiki's work. Which is that several different wiki's support authenticated authoring, so the initial premise that wiki's don't allow authentication is a false premise. You can get everything you seem to want from software with an authenticated Wiki.

It seems to me that the question of "To wiki or not to wiki" is a question FOR authors... It's not like school children get to say, "Hey, I don't like movable, printable text in my text books... Anyone with a printing press can fake this! Give me the same content, but engraved in gold platters, it

Also... While I'm at it... A couple of other thoughts... First, Yes, wikis can be edited by {anyone that has an account}... Although, that's not the same as {anyone on the internet}; I have been part of projects in the past that only let accounts marked as "Developer" write to the wiki, but

Re: [PLUG] To wiki or not to wiki. THAT is the question.

As we have beat around the "You clearly have no idea what a wiki is" bush, I think we failed to answer your question... If your chosen scripting language has a wiki, and that wiki has your answers, then Yes, you should use it. It's not 1998 anymore; The fears over unmoderated edits to wikis have

Re: [PLUG] WHAT is the question? Re: To wiki ...

There are multiple carriers of information on the internet. Mailing lists and USENET groups stress timeliness. Wikis by nature can be more in-depth but can suffer from edits from edits by anyone independent of qualifications. I repeat my question. Is there an alternative to wikis. The question
