maybe andy can help on that. He's becoming the master on imports and exports :)
I'm seriously looking at "forking" a wiki and Scoop into Links SQL.
The program is more like a "blinki" -- blog-link-wiki program.
l | Blog | L W | L | W | W |
wiki | i | BLINKI | B I W | B I | B I | BLOG
n | n | L N K | BLINKI | LINKS | LINK | I
k | wiki | O K I | O K K | O I | O I | N
s | s | G S | G S I | G | G | WIKI
As shown by the prospective logo Skelletons, it's a combination of a Blog/Blogger, Links and a Wiki.
I've registered blinki.info for the discussion of this project, but will probably call it something
like the "BlinkiBlogger" or "BlinkiWiki".
Or, actually its' more complex or convoluted, rather than a simple crossword, more of a word-find:
L K L L L
I I O O I
W N N G G N
K G G K
S I E E I
R
I will take a look at the wikipedia dump, maybe get some ideas for how to set up database. There *are* a lot of ideas out there, but none take into account the underlying "Links" layout.
I've installed a few test blogs and wikis, both perl and php, and don't really like any of them.
I do need to find a karma system, for rating/ranking and ordering the wiki. There was a discussion about this awhile back, what constitutes a "karma" system.
It has to take a load of things into account.
1) how active a user is on the system
2) how relavent and well-liked the user is on the system eg: how others see him
3) how relevant a post is considered, weighted by the ratings of the user casting the vote
4) etc.
Thresholds have to be set up that allow certain users to do things that others can't, and which allow posts and comments to float higher, or lower, or decide if an article is published, hidden, or totally trashed.
A users karma will depend on all these things. This in turn, would affect how "powerful" their ratings are.
There needs to be a way to set the parameters between the highest and lowest "karma" fudge factor, eg: 1-5, 0.1-1.0, etc. to set up how "powerful" the most karmic user is compared to the lowest. The number should never go above a certain ratio, or things get out of wack real fast. There are endless discussions about this on-line, but some simple, effective system beyond a simple +/- (since every user's ranking counts for as much).
