You know, I've always thought it'd be cool if the createBlog community could have something like Wikipedia, but exclusively for the createBlog community. For example, YTMND's Wiki. I was browsing through their Wiki one day and I thought it was pretty cool, so I was like, "hey, createBlog should have one of these."
The YTMND Wiki and Wikipedia both are run by MediaWiki, and after looking at it a bit, I figured maybe this could actually work out. I'd love to get this up and running for createBlog, though of course I'm going to need some opinions first and help later. |

That's not a bad idea, though, right now I'm not particularly worried about vandals at the moment. We'll probably add limitations and what not as we go.
I don't know if you can program the forum posts and Wiki accounts to go together, or how we would be able to work out something like that. I guess Michael would know more about it than myself. |

QUOTE(Arjuna Capulong @ Apr 3 2007, 5:47 PM)  I don't know if you can program the forum posts and Wiki accounts to go together, or how we would be able to work out something like that. I guess Michael would know more about it than myself. Not out of the box, but I imagine it could be done. Mediawiki is open source/free software (released under the GPL), and is written in PHP, so it could be modified. QUOTE(Madame C @ Apr 3 2007, 7:30 PM) Also, on a more pragmatic level, how much space would something like this take up? I can't imagine running/owning a site like cB is inexpensive. It's really just text, so it wouldn't take up that much space... Certainly not as much as the forums themselves and all the rest of the stuff on CB, although resources are a consideration. But Ju-Sun is really the only person that could make that estimate (unless someone else here has extensive knowledge of the server setup of CB; I don't, I'm just conjecturing). QUOTE(Arjuna Capulong @ Apr 3 2007, 7:58 PM) As for the more technical stuff like costs, I can't really say too much about. Michael might know more about it than myself; all I know is that the MediaWiki software itself is supposed to be free. Mediawiki is available free of charge. |
