Where to Wiki

So it’s been five days since I announced Hep 0.6 and wrote “More on this tomorrow”. How time flies. I’ve lapsed into a habit of not updating this weblog. Time to start it up again!

A lot of the Hep-related information I need to write about doesn’t feel like a good fit for this weblog, though – it’s not announcements as much as documentation. I think it may be time to start a Hep Wiki. A question, though, for those of you with Wiki experience: Is it better to have a single wiki, which mixes Hep-related pages with all kinds of other things, or is it better to have dedicated Wikis for each project? I’m leaning toward the single Wiki at the moment, as it would facilitate linking between projects, but I’d be interested to hear about your experiences.

    I’d personaly highly recommend PMWiki ( http://www.pmwiki.org ) for this usage.

    It understands the concepts of groups for subjects/projects (including look’n'feel) and gives great flexibility over permissions for read/write access.

    It also implements VoodooPads vpwiki interface for remote editing.

    Just my 2p, but I’m looking forward to more info on Hep and Yarn! – particularly if I can learn enough Jython to get it to work in my env.

    Thanks, metafeather – PmWiki was just what I was looking for. I’ve got it set up now:
