In the end, it will be Intertwingly. Wiki musings. [...] I like the SnipSnap integrated Wiki-Blog idea, I'm going to explore integrating this with JIRA so you can do rapid knowledge sharing along side your bug tracking - all nicely crosslinked. [...] [rebelutionary] Hmmm. Is that a bug tracking system in your pocket, or are you just knowledge sharing for the fun of it? ;) [Brett Morgan's Insanity Weblog Zilla] hahahahaha maybe it's just beer'o'clock on a Friday afternoon in Sydney, but that made me laugh. Oh, and I just came out of a 2 hour meeting, largely about our next product... 5:16:05 PM  comment []      My thoughts on Russell's SimpleWeb thoughts: Using HTML as a markup language means you can use a rich text area (on IE) to write pages - that would be wicked! (wiked?) I like the SnipSnap integrated Wiki-Blog idea, I'm going to explore integrating this with JIRA so you can do rapid knowledge sharing along side your bug tracking - all nicely crosslinked. hsqldb performance is pretty good IIRC Have you thought about searching? Lucene would rock for this. Caching? OSCache. The thing I can never get my head around with Wikis is how to provide a better knowledge organisation paradigm. By this I mean index pages, lists, searching etc - but as automated as possible. Configurable sorted page buckets like Webcompass? 11:43:28 AM  comment []      OK - I'm finally up and running with Jaguar on my iBook *cheer*. The install took a lot longer than I had expected. That's not to say it wasn't smooth, but I don't suggest starting your upgrade at 11.30am unless you want to finish past 2am having watched the whole of a crappy late night horror movie like Brainscan. My experiences are scarily similar to Raible's. Installation (upgrade from 10.1.5) was very easy. No problems at all. I don't care about Mail - I use Entourage. Dave doesn't work under Jaguar, and is a pain in the ass to remove (instructions). I had to manually enter each command in the end. Windows (SMB) sharing is dreamily easy to setup with one caveat - if you perform an upgrade, you must reset your password for it to work. I found this tidbit via Google, as soon as I did - presto! - everything worked wonderfully. I still can't seem to print properly to my HP2100 via IPP. iChat is cool - but the UI is kinda funky. Quite a few fonts seem weird - my Entourage mail list no longer looks as nice as it used to. Sherlock is US specific - and thus a waste of space on my iBook. iCal - bring it on! 11:36:35 AM  comment []
