hey all,
I wanted to run my own wiki, and had a couple of questions that I would greatly appreciate being answered (or getting pointers to the right direction for answers)
I want to make a wiki, but I want to enforce some constraints on it.. First, I want the wiki to be in a generic hierarchy such that the hierarchy follows certaion administrator-defined rules - ie:
a) its a hierarchy with three levels b) linking between levels is limited to certain places inside the web page.
Ultimately, what I'm looking for is an interface between wiki and CVS - I'd like the pages to be gathered from mysql and dumped into source control in corresponding directories (this would fit my application very well). And, ultimately to go the other way, to take stuff out of CVS and put it onto the wiki.
I wouldn't mind writing the glue code to do this.. but I'd rather not write an entire new wiki in order to do it.. ;-(
In other words, I'm hoping that this isn't a wheel that have to reinvent. I'm really interested in using wiki as a collaboriative tool, but I'm not sure if it fits the more rigorous model that I have in mind.. If it doesn't, what do people suggest as alternatives?
Thanks much,
Ed
( ps - what's the difference between wiki and its various clones particularly phpwiki? Is there a wiki coded in perl? )
