My homepage
nitens.org∞Where it all began
I chose WikkaWiki as a very easy-to-install wiki engine∞ while I was reviewing a number of open source CMS for a project. I needed easy extensibility, good CSS support, and something MySQL/PHP based. I made some hacks to the code, became more and more involved and... finally became part of the Wikka development crew.
Why Wikka instead of other wikis?
I believe the main appeal of Wikka to many of its users lies in its lightweightness∞ and its easy hackability. Installing a wiki on an existing website is often painfully hard for the unexperienced user. Making it look and feel as the site itself is sometimes even harder. People willing to:- integrate seamlessly a wiki engine into their site (without having to dig into dozens of lines of code);
- have their site run by an invisible wiki engine∞;
Why lightweightness matters ?
Lightweightness does not mean lack of features∞.Lightweightness is what spares you from discovering something like this (quoting from Special:Statistics, after a fresh installation of MediaWiki on my machine and some very preliminary testing):
There are 734 total pages in the database. This includes "talk" pages, pages about Wikipedia, minimal "stub" pages, redirects, and others that probably don't qualify as content pages.
Excluding those, there are 3 pages that are probably legitimate content pages.
Excluding those, there are 3 pages that are probably legitimate content pages.
A touch of style
Wikka is structure. To shape its surface you can create and select skins(see also my experimental Wikka skin server∞)
Using wikka
I've created and maintain openformats.org∞ a site for promoting open formats running on WikkaWiki, with a couple of hacks:
- UTF-8 Support∞ - thanks to AndreaRossato's code and unvaluable help;
- UserAdmin - user management interface;
- FeedbackAction - displays a module to send feedback to the wiki administrator;
- IncludeAction∞ (adapted from Wikini∞) - includes more pages in a single page;
- NotifyOnChange - a simple way to get an email notification each time a page is edited (adapted from Wikini∞);
- dynamic CSS - random modifications of the wiki layout;
- altlang links for same page in different languages;
- HideReferrers - avoids spambot problems by hiding the referrer link to anonymous users;
- LoggedUsersHomepage - creates a different homepage for logged users;
- RedirectOnLogin - automatically redirects to a specific page on login/logout;
- SmartTitle - checks if a ==Header== of any level is included in the page body, otherwise displays pagename;
∞My personal homepage∞ is invisibly run by the latest Wikka package .
