The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

Previously, we request a wiki web for jpe...There we have it.
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/jauntepe

So, what to do next?
I'm thinking copying some of information in JPE Google site to the wiki. Anyone have any other suggestion?

I really like MediaWiki, but the version that SourceForge is so locked down that its hard to get anyone to collaborate with you. I'm also annoyed with SourceForge in terms of a collaboration medium.

However, it may be as good as any other; I've been searching off-and-on for a Wiki service I could handle for a while now without success. I would have started a portablefreeware wiki long ago if I had.

But SourceForge have OpenIDfeature. Do you think it work? I'm not good at web development stuff or things like that but i'm not sure if MediaWiki SF version provide settings to control the authorization area

They do, but you have to authorize anyone who wants to edit the wiki, which is contrary to the point of a wiki and, in my experience, makes it harder to get people involved.

I understand SourceForge's position as far as anti-spam and all that, but I wish there was another way.

Does it apply for SourceForge user account as well? i hope not.. i thought the authorization depends on the page protection

Unless they changed it since I last worked on it, you have to add users. It doesn't matter that you have a SF account.

At least the Trac wiki allows pages to be edited without authorization. Unfortunately.

All SourceForge.net users are able to edit the main page of OxygenOffice Professional project. Including spammers.

I missed this post for quite at a time. Thanks SYSTEM for the suggestion. Maybe allowing all people for editing is not always good, especially jpe is still new. Maybe jpe should stick with the mediawiki for now with more control environment until jpe could create its own team members.

I'm ressurecting this long defunct thread for the benefit of the TPFC community, so that we might have a wiki one day...

Has anyone looked at Wikidot? I have done the same raking around for a free hosted solution and Wikidot was the best I found... Hope this helps.

I've evaluated a long list of free wiki providers and they always come up short in some important way. Why do you advocate Wikidot?
