Beta 2.1

Proem

Thank you for evaluating DekiWiki pre-release Hayes BETA 2. We are very interested in your input and feedback. As you evaluate the beta you should be aware of a few key points. First, this is not a production release and it should not be used as such. That said we are especially interested in feedback on:

1. Updgrade script.
2. Installation guide and web installer. Did you have any significant problems with dependencies? Anything?LDAP. See the release notes for documentation on this and as always you may or review/update/edit: doc.opengarden.org/DekiWiki/Integrating_with_LDAP .  Tell us if you have any problems with LDAP and if the documentation on this topic makes sense.

The control panel still has significant work left before we officially release Hayes; therefore, before making any recommendations on the control panel please first review doc.opengarden.org/DekiWiki/Specs/Control_Panel_Redesign.

What's New

New in Hayes Beta 2:

• Web installer
• New live data services featureNew printing UI
• Loads of deprecated MediaWiki PHP removed
• Search now highlights terms
• Nonce email instead of emailing usernames and passwords (still needs some polish)
• More bugfixes, see Section 5.

New in Hayes Beta 1:

• New redesigned navigation pane
• Tagging, chrono-tagging, tag definitions
  • Tagging. Organize and sort pages by user-defined tags.
  • Tag definitions are when a user may define a page as the parent of a tag. For example. If one were to tag a page "define:foo" all pages tagged with "foo" would be presented on said page.
  • Chrono-tagging is when a page may be tagged with a specific date. This can be achieved with prefixing "date:" to a date or time. For example, a user can tag a page with "date:May 31", "date:today", or "date:5/31/2007" and each tag will yield the same outcome.
• New image gallery
  • New controls for sorting attached images.
  • Lightbox for presenting attached images in page context.
  • Image slide show.
  • Improved user experience for image versions.
• Significant improvements to the editor.
• LDAP integration
• Please review http://doc.opengarden.org/DekiWiki/I...ting_with_LDAP .
• Easily extensible arch for authentication providers
  • Note: this is not complete in the beta release. The control panel's services manager allows admins to enlist in external authentication providers.
• Group-based permissioning
  • Groups provided by authentication providers.
• Complete rewrite of users, permissions, and grants
• New Page revisions comparison
  • This was a complete rewrite. In the past the tool that performed the comparison between two page version was easily confused and the presentation was not especially desirable. This has been dramatically improved

What is MindTouch DekiWiki?

MindTouch DekiWiki is the first and only OSI-approved commercial open source wiki.

Deki means smart in Japanese. Combine that with the Hawaiian wikiwiki, meaning fast and quick, and you get DekiWiki in a nutshell: The smartest, fastest, most sophisticated and advanced open-source wiki application available today.

DekiWiki was developed with an emphasis on open standards, extensibility, and performance. It began as a MediaWiki fork and has since become something significantly more than just another Wiki. It facilitates information sharing in a contextually rich environment, has a very polished WYSIWYG Editor, allows the capture and sharing of files, which are indexed and searchable, and stores in XHTML. Indexing is done with Lucene, AJAX is employed where appropriate, and data is portable.

Additional documentation: http://doc.opengarden.org/Dekiwiki

What is MindTouch Dream?

MindTouch Dream is a RESTfull distributed application framework developed in Mono/.NET. With Dream, a Web service is similar to an object, and features interact through standard HTTP verbs. This design allows the developer to assume an "idealized" world where everything a service comes into contact with is accessed through Web requests. The Dream service library addresses common problems, and the Dream runtime orchestrates all interactions without requiring a Web server to be pre-installed on a target machine. Dream avoids unnecessary abstractions and overhead for services by providing direct access to the rich, distributed application capabilities of HTTP. It can be embedded into existing web-application frameworks or operate independently.

MindTouch Dream manages all the complex aspects of interactive web services, such as providing storage locations, database connections, event notifications, automatic data conversion from XML to JSON and short-circuit communication for co-hosted services. The platform enables developers to create enterprise-ready service architectures with exceptional speed and ease.
