Version 3 of How to grow your own Wiki

Purpose: A cookbook approach to creating a Wiki of your own.

WARNING! Since this software environment is pre-alpha, not a lot of details are available yet. I am building this place holder for us to grow details.

About this site provides some background on the hardware and software being used for The Tcl'ers Wiki.
To use a Wiki as a stand-alone, non-WWW connected application, see WiKit in local mode
To use a Wiki as a CGI based, WWW connected application (either public or private), see WiKit under CGI.
Data and scripts are all stored within the wikit.tkd file. If you need to move to a new server, moving 2 files is all you need to do ("wikit.tkd", and the approprate "tclkit" runtime).
Administering a Wiki

To look at the history of changes made to a file, ???
To add new capabilities, ???

JC: there are command line options to extract pages and scripts, and to update scripts inside the wikit.tkd "scripted document", but there is no documentation for this yet...

LV: I could really use some help here guys!

JC: It's early, early, early, but I'll try to help.

dlb: has anyone been successful in running the new (07-Nov-2000)VFS wikit via CGI ? -- if not, are there still older versions available ? I've been having a hell of a time getting wikit running as a cgi process , is there someone I can direct questions to ??

LV: Did you check the link above about Wikits and CGI? Did you put up a note on the Gripes about Wikit, or Wikit Problems, pages?

Documentation about the Wikit Command Line is now available.
