Namely: + +* <http://lhc.am-1.org/lhc/> + — to hold random stuff written by me, my colleagues, + students, etc. + +* <http://rsdesne.am-1.org/rsdesne-2010/> + — for some of the materials related to the + “Remote Sensing in Education, Science and National + Economy” (2010-03-29 … 2010-04-10, Altai State + University) program I've recently participated in as + an instructor. + +## Preferences + +I prefer to use [Lynx][] along with [Emacs][] (via +`emacsclient`) to work with the wikis. (Note the “Local +variables” section below.) + +The things I dislike in the wiki engines are: + +* the use of home-brew specialized version control systems + — while there're a lot of much more developed general + purpose ones; + +* oversimplified syntax + — which (to some extent) precludes more sophisticated + forms of automated processing; in particular, this forces one + to reformat the material, once complete, to, say, prepare a + book, or an article, or slides. + +Out of all the wiki engines I'm familiar with, only Ikiwiki is +free of the first of these. I hope that it will support more +elaborate syntaxes eventually. + +---- + + Local variables: + mode: markdown + coding: utf-8 + fill-column: 64 + ispell-dictionary: "american" + End: |
