It has shortcuts for all of your servers, has nice drag and drop for moving files around, allows you to do all sorts of remote actions on files, etc. No, it’s not slick, but Filezilla does the job nicely. It handles FTP, SFTP and FTP over SSL/TLS. I use it all the time, and I really like it.

Dokuwiki is different in a number of ways, most primarily in that it is one of the wiki systems that stores things in files, not databases. It’s a great replacement for text or word processing files. I’ve always liked wikis, and I have used MediaWiki a lot in the past, and I do like it.

Office Open XML is Microsoft’s XML-based file format which is now native in Office 2007. Instead of adopting the already ISO approved Open Document format, it attempted to get through ISO a standard that, among other things, depends too much on non-standard, non-publicly available legacy file formats.

First, they are putting the wraps on a new version, and there are some interesting projects happening, like integrating voter files, phone banking , and my favorite, case management. Some really interesting things are brewing with CiviCRM. I’m excited to see what community-driven development can do! It looks interesting.

I love it because it’s really easy to set up and back up (it’s all files, not in a database,) and it’s has draft autosaves (yay!). I have become a complete devotee of Dokuwiki , which I use locally on my laptop, for my to do lists, notes, etc. And I contribute to varied other wikis, which are on varied other wiki platforms.

All importing requires now is just going to the Wordpress import tool and specifying the file. Wordpress now uses dashes instead of underscores, so that’s something you don’t have to worry about. That’s all. You don’t have to worry about using mod_rewrite at all. Getting the varied blogrolls and badges, etc.

Many nonprofits have Linux file servers in their back offices. It’s sobering – as much as I love technology, it scares me how much damage it can do to both people and the environment, once we’re done with it, and ready to upgrade to something new. This was to appease the European Commission.
