Hi,
I wanted to edit something in the D wiki[1], had a problem and learned more
about the used wiki engine ProWiki.
[1] http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d
- The last ProWiki release was in 2006
- This was also the first open source release
- Prowiki was apparently developed only by Helmut Leitner
- The project is dead by all standards
I consider it extremely important for the success of D to have a usable
wiki. I don't consider the current wiki usable. I don't have a strong
opinion about other wiki engines so I won't give a recommendation here.
I personally would prefer a wiki system based on Git to allow offline
editing, like Ikiwiki.
I don't know the history of the wiki, but it might be adequate to thank
Helmut Leitner for his work and efforts.
Best regards, Thomas Koch
