AnewGoWiki

From WikiWorld

Why AnewGoWiki?

Because if there were an AnewGoWeb, it would probably be implemented as a CGI rather than a collection of hypertexts. Not that I have anything against CGI, but most commercial and too many noncommercial CGI implementations rob hypertext of its most appealing feature: the convenient ability to create massively connected graphs of text. Wiki-like structures are not, of course, immune to object orientation and other technologies for data hiding, and most seem to rely on some kind of CGI scripting in their own implementation. Wiki markup conventions seem to take interconnection a notch down in technomysticism from their A tag predecessors. This seems to make end user types like yours truly less hesitant, at least some of the time, to (as some like to say) annotate PrincipiaCybernetica. Hopefully wikidom will not develop the insane hitcurrency mentality that mired a generation of alternative samizdateli in udder mediocrity. Some wikifications are nevertheless noisy. Still, wikilike implementations have a reputation for automating the accumulation and public availability of lots of database-like structures.

In the local WikiDialect, here are some humble proposals for new AnewGoWiki nodes:


AnewGoWiki Pages:

<?plugin TitleSearch s='AnewGo'?>

wOw how does this plugin feature work anyways?

'<?plugin TitleSearch s='PageName'?>'

And it searches for all things that begin with that, or concern it I guess

Title Search just returns all pages that have a matching text string to the "s=" term. See ToDoList to see an example of how to do a page body search that lists all found matching text string matches in a page body. ---StarPilot
