A more generic xotcl-based wikis example with object types and subtypes based on the content repository (with category support)

2006-02-09 XoWiki is a wiki implementation for OpenACS in xotcl. Instead of trying to implement the full set of wiki markup commands of systems like MediaWiki, XoWiki is based on a rich text editor and focuses more on integration with oacs (e.g categories, general comments, adp-includes). XoWiki combines aspects of wikis (ease of page-creation) with aspects of a content management system (revisions, re-usable items, multiple languages). Furthermore, XoWiki allows to define different types of links such one could define book-structures (where a navigation structure could be built on the fly) or glossaries with differnt kind of word relationships (like synonyms, etc.). XoWiki supports pages in multiple languages and is localized (currently only for English and German). Currently, richtext and plaintext type entries are supported. Included support for adp-substitution in wiki pages and a file-selector. 0.13 supports page templates and uses the new generic form interface. Use of the oo layer for the content repository, reduced number of database interactions.0.18 supports text/enhanced, nice page names, import/export. Support for search (::xowiki::Page and ::xowiki::PlainPage); 0.20 support ::xowiki::Object, directory object, rss generation into syndication table, improved admin pages; 0.21: ajax-ased chat added, new attributes creator and page_title for all xowiki::Pages 0
