Something new at OSDev.....

[Chase]

If you look at the top menu you'll see a Wiki link now. We've got a community editable set of web pages there now. Have fun but do try to keep it on topic. I'll be editing the background theme stuff so in the future it'll be prettier.

can you link wiki's?

my osfaq wiki lives at;

http://www.mega-tokyo.com/osfaq2/index. ... eYourOwnOS

just wondering if you can do distributed wiki authoring etc?

[Chase]

Actually yes, if I understand the question....

JspWiki has support (I believe) for including other wiki's inside of a wiki page and can even including a part of another wiki page or any other type of content into on of it's own pages.

Is that what you were asking?

more like updating one, updates other wikis, etc. like replication / distributed transactions.

[Chase]

Ohh no, have you looked into the locking mechanics that most wiki's have to implement just for a single site?

We'd have to code stuff up so that there was only a single set of raw wiki files and then the locking potential would be higher.

I can't think of a wiki site that allowed live modification be replicated against another site since the time delay would cause invalid diffs.

The only remote possiblity would be if when people locked a page then the same page is locked on both sites and it gets replicated during the save....even with that you'd have to make sure the two wiki's involved support the exact same syntax.

Another thing you could make the Wiki do, if you planned this from the start, is to update everything by diffs, not absolutely. That way, the diffs could be sent to both servers and (most of the time) they would not collide. If they did, then maybe the user would have to manually merge it. That way, two people could modify the same page on both servers (or at once) and they would be kept in sync
