You haven't had to solve so far in htp://live.gnome.org - but I guess not everyone has permission to edit http://gnome.org homepage and actually I guess not even Foundation members may edit http://foundation.gnome.org/ In the GUADEC site you don't want to let anonymous users to edit the homepage, the registration page... don't you? :) > I'd really like to see an example site (in English) that offers > wiki-like functionality. fridge.ubuntu.com seems to offer almost no > interactivity. Quick answer: http://wiki.bryght.com/wiki Click on a page, then click "diff" or "edit" and you are there. Extended answer: - The collaborative books module (part of the default install) allows user to create pages (and subpages) with a hierarchycal structure like a printed book. Users may edit pages and diffs are kept. Generally people leave this editing only to (at least) registered users (i.e. http://pw.english.purdue.edu/about ) but I have found one opened also to anonymous: http://www.idolblog.com/wiki/ - Generally Drupal admins don't miss the wiki syntax, the CamelCase and the [[creation of links wit brackets]] so they stay with the Books module, that accepts plain texts, HTML, PHP... (permissions on this may also be defined by roles). But if you miss the wiki syntax you may install the wiki module: http://drupal.org/project/wiki If you miss free linking and CamelCase then you may install the freelink module: http://drupal.org/project/freelinking A good example of using the wiki functionality is http://wiki.bryght.com/wiki , as mentioned. This is the site from the wiki module developer, I guess it has this functionality installed but I can't test it since you need to be (at least) registered to create content. http://www.msversus.org/ Other examples I've picked... As you see, the result don't differ that much from what we have at live.gnome.org But hey, apparently the wiki functionality of Drupel doesn't satisfy anybody. I found a guy who has developed his alternative wiki module... for Drupal. ;) http://www.petersblog.org/node/484 <bad joke>About Ubuntu's Fridge, my suspicion is a) they are python devotes so they populated their site(s) with several python tools and b) then one day they discovered Drupal (yet another PHP based tool for the masses) and now it's difficult to reckon that a single Drupal installaton may cover most part of their very interactive websites (ok, Launchpad apart) ;) </bad joke> -- Quim Gil http://interactors.coop | http://desdeamericaconamor.org
