… To put it short: an Ikiwiki newbie.
Wikis
Currently, I run a couple of Ikiwiki instances. 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
