Zwiki is a powerful, easy-to-use GPL wiki engine for Zope. It works in both standard Zope and CMF/Plone. You can find out all about it at http://zwiki.org . News A productive month. Outside the product release notes, here's what I remember off the top of my head - The zwiki.org discussion setup has been simplified; the mail lists have been retired, and the main discussion page is called GeneralDiscussion again. http://zwiki.org/AboutZwikiDiscussion explains all. I'm offering free experimental zwiki hosting at http://zwiki.org/ZwikiFarm . plone.zwiki.org has moved to http://plone.demo.zwiki.org . Old urls should still work. http://notes.demo.zwiki.org demonstrates a zwiki configured as a personal notes wiki/outliner. http://wikimatrix.joyful.com (and http://squeak.joyful.com/Packages) demonstrate a simple matrix/database app using structured wiki data. http://zwiki.org/FrontPage has a new layout and demonstrates blog-style display of recent pages, inspired by Michael Haubenwallner and others. http://joyful.com lists all wikis on this server. I've been updating the blog at http://joyfulsystems.blogspot.com . We now have a wikipedia entry, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwiki A nicer darcs web interface has been installed, see zwiki-org -> darcs or http://joyful.com/darcs . There were 106 darcs commits this month, probably a new record. Zwiki 0.46.0 2005/10/01 Summary Per-user mailout policy, skins reorganization, plugin architecture enhancements, support for boring pages, wicked link syntax, favicons and separate create form, better logging, many code cleanups & bugfixes. Upgrade notes To make your rss feeds and zwiki.org-style blog listings less junky, do SomePage/setupCatalog to add the new isBoring index. An mailout_policy folder property with value "edits" overrides the per-user policy (see below), but this may be dropped in a future release. Changes Installing * fix __implements__ attribute error when CMF is not installed (#1149, Warren) * make Zwiki startup more robust with strange locales/strange pythons (#1158) * make zmi add wiki form use a btreefolder * don't break when adding a wiki with id home (#591) * drop unnecessary loading plugins message at startup * don't log a warning at startup when the system locale is None * clarify missing PTS warning at startup * make fit import failure warning at startup less troubling * fix a case where a page upgrade wouldn't get logged * don't break when displaying a page whose page type has been uninstalled Configuring * wiki subscriber mail-out, rss feeds and blog listings will ignore boring pages TestPage, SandBox and their offspring, by default. You can configure different pages in a boring_pages lines folder property, one per line. An isBoring index has been added to the standard catalog fields, run /setupCatalog to add it. * set a true use_double_parenthesis_links property to enable Wicked-style double parenthesis syntax for freeform wiki links. This is for world users who can't easily type []. * rename and delete no longer check for a username in addition to the permissions (though the skin may still hide them without a username.) Browsing * the /changes_rss feed now shows the edit diff * misc_/* image paths are now relative to be more robust with vhosting (#689) Editing * be sure to create our own recycle_bin even if the parent folder has one * purple numbers now disabled by default * allow create to be called directly by page management form Mail * add "all edits" checkboxes to subscribeform. Zwiki can now send comments to some, edits to others. * reparent now also sends a mailout * remove (new), add (edit) in mailout subjects for clarity * just say "links updated" in rename mailout subject Issue tracking * use more consistent (property change) in issue mailouts, and don't say it if no property changed * /issuebrowser was showing filter issues form General - skins * big skins reorganization to reduce duplication * use a separate createform skin template for creating pages if present * hide most of the wiki action links by default in standard skin * tweak page management form layout in standard skin * drop unnecessary extra text from page management form in cmf/plone * remove old _ and = access keys from /showAccessKeys * register just the zwiki_standard skin with FilesystemSiteDirectory when installed * italicise log notes in recent changes * if a |favicon| object is present, set it as the page icon in the standard skin * don't let recentchanges break when a page type has been uninstalled * use the word "page" instead of "subtopic" in the page management form * don't let non-template objects with the same id hide our skin templates; improve bad template error * remove the h2 bottom border style * remove stray commas in page templates causing log warnings * drop uploaded and wikinav_portlet templates from plone skin General * split content/ into wikis/ and scripts/ * strip html tags in the page summary, and add renderedSummary which does formatting and linking * rename all pagetypes' renderXIn methods to format * plugins can now be packages or files * plugins can now override any method in the product core * add support for emacs-style "hooks" for customization by plugins Best, -Simon
