Well, everything you describe above is already implemented in the
SmallWiki model. Unfortunately there is no web-interface to manage
these settings (security properties, roles, users, etc.) yet. If you
want to use these things already, you have to do it manually by sending
appropriate messages to objects and walking trough the graph using
inspectors.
At the moment I am working on a web-interface to edit and configure the
templates. I am quite sure that soon more such interfaces will be
integrated.

We did not want just to copy other implementations, but to have a new
generation of extensibility and power with our wiki.

That would be really great: any kind of extensions, bug-fixes,
management-tools, etc. are always appreciated.
Cheers

Fwd: [ANN] State Reprication Protocol (SRP) released on SqueakMap
by Markus Gälli
Maybe an alternative for storing wiki...
I like the idea to store the (de)coding rules together with the data.
The link is worth a read.

I already found the source of troubles: In some rare cases the parent
is not properly set, when restoring old versions in the history. Right
now I am trying to write a test-case to catch that kind of trouble. I
will let you know when I wrote a fix.

Ok, I am able to reproduce that error. It seems to come from the last
entry in that folder, as its parent seems to be set wrong.
Have you changed something manually inside the object structure?
Usually this should be properly set when adding or changing the
history, but I have to check again.

That is really strange, I am developing basically on my macintosh, but
now I've also tried on a Windows 2000 machine. It works well on both
machines.
> I am running on a Windows 2000 platform (the error seems to be unix..)
What browser are you using? Have you got cookies enabled in your
browser?

You have to make sure that you are using the latest version of SIXX as
older versions do not support namespaces. I do not suggest to use SIXX
storage in a productive environment, using the image-storage is faster
and more secure.

If you are not logged in you get the anonymous user assigned, with a
restricted set of permission. To login as administrator go the the
login-page, make sure you have cookies enabled and enter 'admin' and
'smallwiki' as username and password. You should be able to change
templates, to see and modify history and to delete pages, folders, etc.
To change the password of the administrator evaluate:
(server userAt: 'admin') password: 'myNewPassword'
Soon there will be an user interface presented to change that kind of
things.

The syntax of the links is the same as in SqueakWiki, but not
WikiWorks. The square brackets are used to add smalltalk-code to your
pages, but that is only possible when logged in as administrator. So
you might add:
!My Super Wiki Title
Blabalbalbalbal *My other Page* blablabalbbal
The current time is: [ Time now displayString ] ...
....
> SmallWiki.ErrorUnauthorized(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand:
This is a bug in the latest release: once the login-page appeared in
that case.
