Hi Maurice,
Btw, the Squeak version of SmallWiki doesn't seem
to store the wiki
pages in the same manner that you describe in your paper. The SIXX
storage seems to use a single XML doc, and the Image storage as a
standard (large) image and changeset. Which would you recommend?
in VisualWorks - the environment where SmallWiki had been developed - I
suggest to use the image-storage. It is much faster, the resulting
files are smaller and in my opinion it is also more secure. However I
don't know about the Squeak port, you have to ask the porters in the
mailing-list about their suggestions.
What I actually think, that it would be nice to have a reference-stream
or an image-slice storage in Squeak. I've used this mechanisms in some
of my web-development and it worked very well. I don't know if it
scales well, but it should be worth trying ...
Cheers,
Lukas
