basically i'm putting up a wiki for scientists using ruby. i don't have much
time and don't want to mess with spam. also, i'm hosting on textdrive so cgi
setup (vs webrick) is a much. these are the features i was looking for
- acl type control a-la moin-moin. my plan is to give each scientist that
want's to contribute a username and password, for some i may even givem
them admin privs to create more passwords. in effect i'm looking for a
'six degrees of separation' type web so that, if someone spams we'll be
able to figure it out. eg. it's easy to get a password but you must have
one. the whole site is protected at site level this way.
- fastcgi-able. it's just the only way to go.
- image upload/inlining
- attachments
- the svg editor ain't bad either
you can imagine the graphic content management is quite importnat for a
scientific wiki.
