ak3ldama's Journal: wikimedia

Well, in case anybody missed it...wikipedia and it's brethren have practically taken over the tubes on the internets. Not just wikipedia uses it but other sites such as wesnoth use it. There are others, but all you need to do to find them is to start checking out various open source projects. For those that occasionally checkout my JE's here is a wikipedia page I setup on my linux machine. Go ahead and leave an anonymous note or do whatever ... (I hope to hell this doesn't make the mainpage.)

The install process on FC6 was awesome. I already had Apache, so I copied the wiki files to a folder in /var/www/html/ and put up a simple index.html file to test it out once I knew apache was working. From there I installed and configured mysql which was pretty damn painless. The mysql documentation is great, and the wiki setup was straight forward. The next thing I'm thinking of setting up is Bugzilla.

Thinking about my own wiki

I am thinking about setting up one at home (we use a wiki at work) just to organize all the junk I have: photos, writing, art, etc etc. It has version control, and I figure if I protect it with ssl/htaccess I can keep naughty folks out, and still be able to get to stuff from work. Also being able to save things back and forth would be so incredibly useful, and all in an organized hierarchy that I could search. Wow organization; what a thought.
