Zope.org wikis change-restricted for hour or two from *11:00am* today, Jan 16 today, Jan 16
We're having some logistical delays getting started, so we haven't and won't be shutting down the wiki page changes until 11:00. I'll post another note when they're back and ready... Sorry about the time shifts!

All the wikis on the site will be restricted against changes for an hour, if everything goes smoothly, hopefully within 2 hours if there are unexpected problems. This upgrade will entail some substantial cleanup of the existing wikis, and other changes wiki owners need to understand. If you own or use wikis on zope.org, please see below for details. The changes come out of an update with a recent ZWiki release from simon michael, and then the enhancments resulting from the WikiForNow effort: http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/WikiForNow The cleanup entails the following: - Deletion of all zero-length wiki pages (excluding FrontPage) - dispose of all the inadvertant pages, many due to web spiders - Assignment of sensible 'Owner' local-role for poorly defaulted settings - the old ZWiki and ZWikiWeb products set the role to the product owner. This has to be rectified since ability to regulate who can do what on new pages hinges on 'Owner' local role. (See RegulatingYourPages.) - Change many of the existing standard pages and methods (HelpPage, TextFormattingRules, SearchPage, etc) to reflect the realities in the new version (and to clarify and elaborate some pieces missing in the existing pages) There are many enhancments, some (like wiki operation regulations) depend on some of these cleanups. See http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/WikiForNow/WikiForNowDevelopments for a thorough list. I'll be making the changes available shortly, and forwarding them to simon michael for inclusion, at his discretion, in the ZWiki base code. Let me know if you have questions or concerns about the changes. Ken Manheimer klm@digicool.com
The wikis are back. You may notice some changes - see http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/WikiForNow/WikiForNowDevelopments for details. I'm continuing to adjust the "regulations", controlling who can do what in the wikis, so don't expect changes you make to them to hold, for the moment. I'll post another note when that's done - other than that, you can edit and otherwise mess with the pages. Ken On Tue, 16 Jan 2001, Ken Manheimer wrote:
