DominoWiki

Well, you're reading a page in DominoWiki right now! DominoWiki is the oh-so-imaginative name given to this Domino-based wiki template. You can find out more about the application -- including a download link -- at the OpenNTF website:

Project home page


I just became aware of this project a day or so ago, installed a test database at our site (well I had a db admin do it for me, as I'm not worthy... A very nice simple app. Congratulations! It looks as if activity on this database is picking up recently. Any plan to release John Smart's proposed changes, or would you prefer folks to integrate his changes locally and then get post feedback on the project page? Not really sure about the process here. I was in the middle of several simplistic design changes (extending the safeHTML list, etc) when I ran across that discussion thread. - DSParillo

Hi there -- yes, I have integrated most of John's changes, and will be releasing 1.2 soon. Just got a few bugs to iron out yet! -Ben



On a slightly random note, feel free to advertise that DominoWiki runs perfectly well under the Konqueror web browser. I've used it with DominoWiki for a year without a hitch.


In the interest of helping out with a 1.2 release, attached is a variant of DominoWiki 1.1 we've been using internally at our company all year. i can't upload documents to OpenNTF I left some docs in it that may be globally applicable (a tutorial and such similar).

Key features:

  • All of John Smarts changes except those related to generating BackLinks - this did not work on a 6.5 server and I didn't take the time to investigate why.
  • Markup changes:
  • * Added '**' (etc) to indicate multiple bullet list levels.
  • ** can use ~ and # in links
  • * Added ':' for indenting, more ':''s result in more indenting.
  • * (?NamespaceName:PageName?) to indicate name spaces
  • * Added SubPage? markup: '.' indicates a subpage, ^ links to a sibling, ! looks for an ancestor up the subpage tree and roots the URL from there.
  • * added a 'find' URI, allowing a link to return the results of a search, such as in foo+AND+bar.
  • Minor edits do not show up on RecentChanges or propagate through the RSS feed

UI changes

  • Reorganized stylesheets and created a stylesheet in the monobook style.
  • Added a TagCloud?
  • Added navigation links at the top of each page: Edit, Discussion, and History
Hi Dave, many thanks for doing that! FYI I have BackLinks working in the 1.2 release. Have also re-attached the nsf as a zip file to save the ole' bandwidth. Cheers! - Ben

: My pleasure! DominoWiki is IMHO an overlooked star in the OpenNTF constellation --Dave
