wiki

We're thinking of moving from our existing installation of MediaWiki to something more feature-rich. I'm trying to find all the pains people have with MediaWiki today (mainly it's poor handling of external documents and less-than-perfect editing capabilities - compared to Word). We are using a wiki for design, spec, process guidelines. We have several external documents (docs, powerpoints) that we are currently putting on a shared folder and linking to from the wiki (because uploading files is not very convenient in MediaWiki). We are trying to make the friction minimum, so that nobody will

When forking a project on GitHub, the wiki is cloned from the original project. Am I right to assume that I can make any changes (delete pages, edit pages) to my forked wiki without changing the upstream wiki? I've searched Google, Stack Overflow and the GitHub documentation without finding information about this :( Forking a GitHub project does not fork its wiki repo.

A workaround to this is to clone the GitHub wiki locally then push it into a separate repository, or a separate repository

I'm working on a fairly big open source RTS game engine ( Spring ). I recently added a bunch of new C++ functions callable by Lua, and am wondering how to best document them, and at the same time also stimulate people to write/update documentation for a lot of existing Lua call-outs. So I figured it may be nice if I could write the documentation initially as doxygen comments near the C++ functions - this is easy because the function body obviously defines exactly what the function does. However, I would like the documentation to be improved by game developers using the engine, who generally

Is it possible to convert Excel spreadsheets into MediaWiki markup? I stumpled upon strange recommendations exporting to HTML and convert it into markup. Is there a solution, maybe exporting to XML first or directly converting it? Reinstate Monica I know of three options: Install a WYSIWYG editor extension like FCKeditor (see also Official ). Advantage: fairly easy Paste As Word (and therefore also as Excel) button. Disadvantage: installation can be tricky. Use a macro in Excel . Advantage: a one-click creation of markup. Disadvantage: client-side solution (so need it for all users). My

You can easily create a wiki with zena (a rails CMS): You create an empty application with zena wiki You initialize an empty database cd wiki; rake zena:init RAILS_ENV=production You set the publish, write and read groups of a node to "public" (use the wrench tool, "drive" tab) You change the anonymous user's status from "moderated" to "user" (user
