My ideal personal publishing portal
Been thinking about the blog, and where I might like it to go in the future, and the one feature I just keep thinking about is wiki functionality. For my uses, I think it would be a natural fit. There are already quite a few bliki's out there, so I figure there has to be a few packages that might be worth checking out.
So I started searching, and found a few options. I found that some people use some WikiTalk to get FlexWiki to act as a blog. Interesting idea, but I can't see myself ditching .Text for that. I found a couple other bliki's, but nothing that seemed to stand out, until I found SnipSnap. SnipSnap looks really interesting. I'm certainly not convinced, but I'm going to play with it for a bit to see how it is. It's not .net, though, so it will be a hard sell either way (anyone know a cheap router that does forwarding based on hostname?).
In either case, my research yielded all kinds of crazy requirements and ideals for a system I wish I could just download. I'd like to say I'd build it, well hell, maybe I will.
• Must have a blog. Full support for all the various syndication and API standards.
• Multiple users, each who has their own blog.
• Each blog can be skinned and modified independently.
• All blogs share common wiki.
• Blog entries have categories.
• Blog posts use wiki dialect.
• Each blog has articles.
• Ability to attach files to wiki or blog pages.
• Ability for wiki sections to be marked private/roles based access.
• Ability to publish wiki page to blog or article.
• Winforms app that works like notepad that stores away wiki pages to be “synced“ later.
• Would be nice if wiki was blog context skinnable.
• Blogs have comments that turn off in n days.
• Color my code for me please.
The list got a little longer in type then it was in my head. I could have kept going too. Either way, anyone know of any other bliki's I should check out?
