will be different this time.
No idea. At least three jbopre including me don't like this TWiki.
* Sort of to the same point: this community starts far more
projects than it finishes. This impacts the wiki, because a page
will get written but then becomes unmaintained and eventually
becomes part of the long tail of pages that are out of date but
still vaguely relevant. Is starting this wiki also a commitment
to curate it? Asked another way: is this project different from
the other projects that are started but not completed or
maintained?
Just a better engine.
* Last week I needed the redirect feature of Lojban's tiki software
enabled. I was able to contact Robin on IRC and ask him to enable
it, and he did so later than day. Who is the support person for
this wiki? Any idea of how responsive you'll be?
No idea. But... CURRENTLY WE ARE ONLY TESTING THIS MEDIAWIKI.
If this server is not stable we would probably move to another one, may be Robin can help us with hosting.
* I have several templates that I would like to use on this wiki.
They require the Cite and ParserFunctions extensions. Will the
support person add these extensions please? /me starts timer.
added.
Probably I should give you ftp access to the wiki too.
Thank you! I have made a deep investment in mediawiki and use it in
every other community I participate in. I'd love to see lojban.org
use this software, but I don't understand why it fixes and/or is
better than the current wiki.
