[cap-talk] CapWiki sources ?

[Tyler Close]

Hi Dominique,

The CapWiki was actually just the "Hello World" example program for
the 3.x version of the Waterken server. I hadn't intended it to be a
fully functional wiki, but for a while MarkM, MarcS and others
actually started using it as a wiki instead of as a programming
example. I'm not sure whether that means it was a success or failure
as an example program. ;)

The 3.x version of the Waterken server used XML/XSLT for the
web-application front-end. Though I came to be fairly productive in
XSLT, implementing the CapWiki in it, others didn't pick it up, so for
that and other reasons I redesigned the front end to use
JSON/Javascript. I haven't ported the CapWiki example program to the
new front end technology yet. I'll be doing a demo of the Waterken
Server at WWW 2008 at the end of the month, so perhaps I should try to
revive the CapWiki for that. I've got a lot on my plate right now
though.

I expect Caja, or another safe Javascript subset, to eventually be the
preferred way of coding the browser front-end to a Waterken server
application. I'd be interested to hear more about your plans for the
wiki you're developing.
