Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology

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. It’s great to hear that it can scale, since I really think it’s a great software. Be Helpful.

Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology

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. Be Helpful.

Wiki Syntax madness

Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology

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 didn’t get so far into coding the markup, but I had decided that I’d follow MediaWiki’s syntax, since it was the most popular wiki software. This is SO great!
