Instiki: Dead-Simple CMS?
I’ve been trying to figure out the best (easiest, most flexible) way to quickly organize and author content for teaching and research. What I want:
- easy to install and use
- easy to get to content out in different formats
- access control
Someone recommended Plone to me, which fits a lot of what I’m looking for. However, it’s rather slow, and I can’t figure out for the life of me how to get it to behave like a wiki. The new Ruby-based wiki instiki is starting to look really nice though. Seeing it had a nice new download-the-whole-wiki feature, I pointed out to the author that exporting valid XHTML would make it suitable for XSLT-ing it into LaTeX, and it seems the author is looking to add a LaTeX export feature. That could be useful!
Still, ultimately I want it all integrated with a bibliographic database.
Hmm… I wish my weblog editor (NetNewsWire) would support wiki-like markup.
