02-15-2008 - Hackathon on Sunday

Happy belated Tine's Day all. This Sunday at Noon PST (GMT-8) please join us on #kwiki @ irc.freenode.net for an all day Kwiki hackathon. There will be lots to do and refreshments will be served. (via dcc of course ;)

01-14-2008 - K3 Begins

Wow. It's been a long time since I've worked on Kwiki. Most of this is due to my spectacular accident on April 17th last year. See http://ingy.net for details.

I'm all in one piece again (more or less) and ready to hack Kwiki. I have very big ideas this time.

I'm going to start documenting this all in http://pi.kwiki.org. Drop by on IRC if you want edit access.

03-27-2007 - Spork Working With K2

If you are a user of Spork for presentations, I have good news. Spork now is bundled under Kwiki 2.0 on svn. If you have Kwiki installed, you have spork installed!

Installation recap:

svn checkout http://svn.kwiki.org/kwiki/trunk/ ~/src/kwiki                  
export PATH=~/src/kwiki/bin:$PATH                                              

Spork recap:

mkdir talk                                                                  
cd talk                                                                     
spork -new                                                                  
vim Spork.slides                                                            
spork -make                                                                 
spork -start                                                                

Also, I made a new tarball of K2 with Spork at http://www.kwiki.org/downloads/


02-21-2007 - kwiki.org now using TypeKey authentication.

Sorry spammers. Editing kwiki.org now requires that you use typekey auth. TypeKey is easy to use. Elegant really. As a bonus, it provides picture urls. Stay tuned for some fun features using that.


02-21-2007 - Giant Palm Tree Spooted on K2

GiantPalmOnK2. This is unquestionably a harbinger of good fortune for Kwiki2!


02-11-2007 - Kwiki::FastCGI makes Kwiki a Fast CGI!

TatsuhikoMiyagawa just wrote Kwiki::FastCGI and it makes Kwiki so fast!! The module is laughably trivial too. kwiki.org is running it right now.


02-10-2007 - Major Kwiki change may be dangerous.

Pushed out http://trac.kwiki.org/trac/changeset/136 to svn today. This change is supposedly backwards compatible but may cause problems. Please report on irc if you have trouble. This change simplifies the Kwiki CGI bootstrapping and allows for major changes in Kwiki without losing support for older software configurations.

Kudos to TatsuhikoMiyagawa for fixing a critical bug quickly...


02-08-2007 - Kwiki 2.0 Announced at Wiki Wednesday

Ingy was at Wiki Wednesday at the Socialtext Offices in Palo Alto. He gave a demo of a little hack call SocialZork which was implemented over Kwiki 2. He also announced Kwiki 2.0 to the crowd of about 80 folks.


02-02-2007 - Kwiki Steals its Code Back

The Socialtext Open Source Wiki was originally based off of the Kwiki code base. While Socialtext has evolved quite a bit from Kwiki, the underlying models are not so different. Kwiki can fairly easily take some code back. Today Kwiki hackers Chris Dent and Ingy döt Net wrote Kwiki::Formatter::Socialtext by wrapping the Socialtext formatting code with a little extra Perl...


01-31-2007 - Kwiki Doesn't Exist...

... at least according to Wikipedia. Seems that some wikipedians don't want to acknowledge Kwiki as Perl-based wiki software.


01-31-2007 - Kwiki::Cache::Formatter speeds up Kwiki

The Kwiki::Formatter module (text -> html) can be quite slow, especially on large pages. A new plugin called Kwiki::Cache::Formatter fixes that nicely. Try loading HugePage.


01-30-2007 - www.kwiki.org goes live with Kwiki 2.0

www.kwiki.org has a new server, a new theme, new content and is running the latest software from the Kwiki SVN Repo.

The old site is currently available at http://www.kwiki.org/old-site/. Editing has been disabled on this site. Usable content will be migrated to the new site.


01-21-2007 - New Kwiki Documentation Server

Kwiki has long needed good documentation. Help is now in sight. The new project Doolittle is a wiki that contains all the POD documentation for everything Kwiki. This means that not only is all the doc online in one place, it is also editable. And the documents themselves are part of the Kwiki SVN repository. Nifty eh?


12-18-2006 - kwiki.org on a Fast New Server

buu++ gave kwiki.org a new home on his beefy server. kwiki.org has never run so fast! These sites are all migrated:

The rest of kwiki.org sites will follow soon.

Note: The following has come to pass...

Also, sometime soon we will make a big release of Kwiki 2.0. At that time, 2.kwiki.org will become the new www.kwiki.org, and same for svn and trac. Stay tuned...
