LiveWiki

LiveWiki is a practical, intranet-oriented WikiWikiWeb concept that would have the following feature set:

• No CamelCase - we'd use case-InSeNsItIvE links instead
• HTML subset for markup
• XML storage
• Versioning
• Page ACLs (drwxrwxrwx-like, with d being reserved for sysadmin override)
• Comments
• Attachments - each attachment a named Wiki node, referenced by {attachment name} or similar markup
• Some sort of basic rendering pipeline (for applying stylesheets or filters to the page contents,scaling,etc.)
• Built-in "World Domination" button.

Davi's Notes:

• PHP!
• With directories (http://livewiki.org/davi/weblog/20030101.html)
• Permissions - per default, guests can only add comments (unless he is are black-listed)
• /davi is owned by davi (and created probably by admin) and he chooses to set it written only by him. Permissions are recursive unless redefined - /davi/trash can be writen by everyone, or even written by guests
• Permissions by user - You say which users can edit that page (and its childs), or everyone
• Simple markup and xml markup - "View Simple", "View XML" to satisfy normal persons and geeks
• Markup permissions configurable - for example, guests can use "style markup" (b,i,u), editors can use links, powerusers can include <code> (eval anyone?)
• DB in filesystem: /davi is $DATA/davi/index.xml, /davi/weblog/20030101 is $DATA/davi/weblog/20030101/index.xml, /davi/imagem com espaços.jpg is $DATA/davi/imagem%20com%20espa%e7os.xml (%e7 might be changed by UTF8 if defined)
• Private entries - either personal or with access to other users
• rcs backend (index.xml,v for latest revisions). XXX Must think about binary revisions
• url extension optional. Either /davi, or /davi/, or /davi.html
• application generates XML (XXX to be defined) and uses several XSL's for output
• uses extension for XSL....
• uses my getResources for virtual-hosting
