Hi all, Thanks for the conversations at today's Toronto Perl Monger meeting this evening - I very much enjoyed it.
A few references: 1 TWiki: http://TWiki.org 2 Advocacy: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Main/TWikiSuccessStories 3 A village community site I set up: http://redbourn.org.uk 3 Demo of HtmlArea experimentally embedded in TWiki (feel free to Edit but note the rest of this site is broken): http://testwiki.mrjc.com/twiki/bin/view/HtmlAreaTest/WebHome 4 My position on the development of TWiki: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Main/MartinCleaver 5 CgiWiki development mailing list: http://www.earth.li/pipermail/cgi-wiki-dev/ 6 MichaelSparks' fork of TWiki, OWiki: http://owiki.org
In short, I think that TWiki has the best functionality today and will continue to do so in the short term, but that CgiWiki has a brighter future due to a cleaner architecture. Either CgiWiki needs to provide support for entry-level users (i.e. text file back end) or the core of TWiki needs to be rationalised. If you are planning to install, Michael Sparks' fork is probably the easiest as he has written an installer that runs on UNIX and on Cygwin.
Cheers, Martin.
