doesn t mean we don t work on open source release of wikidot software in fact almost every day i do some cleaning in code that makes it less specific to wikidot com and more universal we run wikidot com software on several servers in different paths with different operating systems centos debian ubuntu mac os x and under different domains both local and global this software begins to be customizable again recently i entirely removed the globals site variable from source moved all wikidot persistent files beside database to data directory for easier backups and clarity improved without ssl configurations worked hard on page saving internal api in my free time i m working on enabling ini configuration instead of old bad conf globalproperties php which is hard to maintain we added hmac based hashing to saved passwords instead of plain md5 which might be simple to break for some silly passwords if one has database access we do more things in background than before we optimized user interface fixed text label and enabled cross site includes which lets regular users share their wiki code snippets just as they were included by other sites it s been long time since we moved our closed software to git and this makes developing it pretty nice we re using branches many of them and a nicely described process to organize work nicely without breaking to many things and thus to produce high quality code oh and we use wikidot daily as our issue tracker blog engine chat room personal file space and more more more pieter made wikidot development more open predictable and user driven he created at least the following successful projects at wikidot for wikidot http blog wikidot com http projects wikidot com and many templates of sites or even full blown applications that are instantly ready to use by simply cloning them the central place for those templates is http iron giant wikidot com having all of this done and being done we re all getting this project to a point where we can once again open its source to other people and let them fix or at least find bugs improve code quality and performance add features and contribute to our outstanding wiki service this time we would like to continue open developing in contrast to the last opening of the source which was basically forking the closed sourced and not merging changes in open source back to wikidot com read on comments 2 big progress 1250103680 e b y h m z o ago once upon a time we decided to open the source of wikidot â the software behind the wikidot com service we forked the source made it usable on domains other than wikidot com removed wikidot com branding from different messages and made it really customizable then i made the software extremely easy to install it started with wdlite which was not a success because the software is not designed to work face to face with other applications sharing the same webserver and wdlite tried to do that then i said hey why not run own webserver but on some non standard port and i did it now i can run any number of wikidots on my machine each on its own port the making extremely easy to install finished with creating the deb package that made installation as easy as 1 command compared to 5 or 6 before this can be both good and bad if something goes wrong you won t know which part of the installation it is also the packaging i made is very bad but it works from time to time so this may save some people s time and this package can be used as a start for someone to create a really good debian package the situation we re facing is we now have two products which are wikidot com with nice features wikidot org with easy installation we though we might migrate nice features from wikidot com to wikidot org but that seems impossible right now because we have too many differences in code so we decided to go other way migrate features from wikidot org to com at least forms configuration with the ini file running on custom port search phrase highligthing if you come from google for example we ll highlight words you search for then we ll replay the changes we made previously when we created the open source fork to create the software unspecific and configurable again we had a great change to test and do it the last time so this time it s going to be much more smooth then and that s different from the previous situation we ll apply the changes to the wikidot com so in fact we ll run the open source software to supply the wikidot com service what does it mean current wikidot org development is frozen until we have the new version based on current wikidot com software i ll accept fixes from you of course but not fix bugs myself wikidot org software will have all the great features that made wikidot com much much better in the last year wikidot org software will have all new features before they reach wikidot com you ll be able to actually see and fix if you like the software that runs wikidot com the developers meaning mainly michaå and me will be focused on one product not on two of them if you really really need some of the bugs to be fixed before we freeze the development on current version please open a bug and leave a comment on this post to tell us how much you need it to be done and why we should consider doing it thanks for your patience read on comments 4 deb packages for wikidot
