2004-10-25 Wikis

Weird. Found that somebody is bookmarking pages on my blog via referrer tracking... Hello Claudine! ;) Being able to see how other people bookmark my pages makes me a bit uncomfortable. After all, Claudine is not linking to my posts from a blog or anything like that. She’s just using a web service somewhere... And already I feel like a stalker.

Weird... to see my name come up in your rss feed. I’m following your blog on Bloglines. Who’s stalking whom? 😃

Hehe! :D I mostly read blogs by people I know from ​#emacs, family members, and some political stuff. Now that I wrote this down, I’m reminded of what you had to say:

Each female presenter had more to say about oral and storytelling traditions, and about women’s rights and women’s education, while the men spoke more about politics, political history, written literature and linguistics. ¹

I think I fit the pattern. 🙁

Ein “stalker” ist meistens ein Mann der eine Frau verfolgt, die ganze Zeit beobachtet, so dass sich die Frau bedroht fühlt.

“RSS” ist ein Dateiformat welches verwendet wird, wenn man sich die letzten Änderungen von vielen verschiedenen Websites anzeigen lassen will. Das kann man beispielsweise auf http://bloglines.com/ – selber verwende ich das zwar nicht, aber ich habe schon gute Dinge davon gehört. Auf deinem Site sind die “Modifications Récentes” die letzen Änderungen. Im RSS Format kannst Du diese Änderungen auch haben: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/astrid?action=rss. Sowas nennt man einen “RSS feed” oder einfach “feed”. Versuch’s mal mit bloglines... ;)

Slowly, blogging turns into just another part of life... :D

So how do you set up the automatic link from my wikiname to my web site? I’m a bit slow.

It has nothing to do with being slow but rather with the solution being clunky. I haven’t yet found a user interface that makes sense for such mappings local to a number of pages or to a particular point in time. There’s just one such place to do all the mappings: Names. The basic assumption being that you’d create a page on the wiki, I guess.

Names

Right now it kind of works because most people I actually add to the list have sites that I also read. If people know nothing of wikis, they won’t use a WikiName for their username, and then it won’t be linked. So that part works for me. If more visitors like you come arround, however, the system fails: People expect their names to link to their homepages. Maybe I should add a new field to the comment box for the URL.

I’ve recently started using Oddmuse as a local wiki on my home computer. I haven’t got round to creating a page for my WikiName here or on the Oddmuse wiki. Not sure why, I guess I don’t know what I’d put on a wiki page that had my name at the top. 😃

I’ve now created Community:ClaudineChionh. Does that mean that if my entry in Names is removed, ClaudineChionh will link to Community wiki? Is that how near links work?

Names

Oddmuse is exciting, but I don’t grok all of it yet.

Yep, that’s how it works. The list of pages on the other wikis is only refreshed once every 24h, however (when maintenance is called via a cron-job).

Claudine, your comment prompted me to add the “Homepage URL” textfield to the comment form. Thanks. 😄
