It'll be much -more than that, eventually. - -So to start with it's not a wiki. It's currently a way to create a web -site with CommonMark wiki markup, using git to update the content. - -So it's not a wiki, yet. - -Next comes accounts and online editing of content with the web pages. -It'll then barely be a wiki. - -The missing bit is talk pages, which requires some sort of archiving chat -system built into the thing. Now it's Yet Another Wiki. - -Finally comes the magic, so it's "not Yet Another Wiki", it's much more -than that. - -A web forum is basically a web based chat system with archiving. We got -that now, we can just say it's a web forum as well. Just leave off the -wiki page bit. - -Only difference between an instant messaging system and a web forum is -how fast it runs. So just make this fast, then we can call it an instant -messaging system. - -Put email behind a web forum, you got a mailing list with a web archive. - -An issue tracker is basically a wiki type page with the forum style -messages, and often an email control system. Only that last bit needs to -be added. - -A lot of projects will put together all of these things to support their -users. Different systems, different accounts, same info. Too much "Oh, -that's in the forum somewhere" on the mailing list or whatever. - -notYetAnotherWiki puts it all together as a single system, with multiple -ways of using it depending on what the users want, and ways of organising -the useful info that makes it's way into the system one way or another. - -Someone comes into your chat system, asking for help, within minutes -people are helping out and come up with a working solution. After a few -other people turn up with the same problem, the existing conversations -are moved to the decumentation section, where the original participants -and others can polish it into proper documentation about solving what has -suddenly become a common problem. Every one knows where to find it, on -the one system. They can chat about it, on the one system. - -## What does it do already? - -Currently it'll scan the current directory and subdirectories rooking for -.md files in CommonMark syntax. This should cover some MarkDown -variations. Then it produces .HTML files converted from these .md files, -and links them all together into a web site. - -git is used to store the .md files, and provides edit history. Added on -the footer is links to cgit, which is used to store the files in git on -your server. This provides acces to the source code, history, and ATOM -feed for the site. -- cgit v1.1
