wiki

A simple Go based wiki. This is being done because each OS X upgrade breaks my apache (and thus my moin moin install) and to provide a test project for using some go toolkits and libraries (Gorilla web toolkit) and GoConvey).

Basic goals:

• Simple markup (initially markdown)
• Simple backend(s)
  • Memory based
  • Flat file possibly as this is readable when the system dies
  • Sqlite - not yet implemented

Current Status:

• Basic Wiki features work

  • Create/edit pages
  • Automatically setup links between pages
  • Pages have a history
  • Old page revisions can be viewed
  • Attachments and basic image support works

• Ideas being tested

  • Using middleware as a data/compute pipeline
    • This should make the handlers very minimal and make it easier to do a REST api and a standalone non-js interface as well.

Todo

• Users
• Modular authentication
• LMDB/BoltDB backend
• categories/tags/...
• typing in some scripting/templating for use in pages ?
• make some decent page templates
• make a simple REST api
  • Currently it is a simple html and form based system, simple is good, it doesn't break. But REST api's are simple and open up possibilties.
