Howdy list!
We are considering moving our relatively small (250 pages) but steadily
growing ComSwiki to Pier at MSC (formerly Toolkit Software). There are
several reasons for picking Pier, but it is not yet totally decided. One
obvious reason is that we have been looking at integrating Pier and
Gjallar, so learning more about Pier is a good thing. We also like the
fact that we can "hack it" etc since we know Squeak and so on.
I have a few questions:
- What persistency are people using? Saving the image now and then is not
enough, we are considering using Magma (since we use it a lot in Gjallar)
and are interested in any reports on that.
- Compared to ComSwiki, what is *missing*? I know Pier has lots of
*extras* but I am more concerned about stuff *not* there. The basics we
really want are of course recent changes, access to older versions
(diffing not required), search, references to this page, attachment
handling (versions not needed). Might have missed something in that list
of course.

All the web sites I know use the image for persistency (including
seaside.st and my personal web site). There is nothing that prevents
you from using Magma. There are even some extension published in the
repositories, but I don't know how reliable they work, if they are
used at all, what their performance is and if they are up-to-date.

Pier is not a Wiki, but a CMS ;-)

This used to be there, but got lost in the process. It would be easy
to add again, but I personally never felt a strong need to have it.
Maybe later tonight I will give a try to see if it still works ...
search, references to this page
Yes. Yes.
attachment
handling (versions not needed).
Yes, it is possible to upload files.
Cheers,
