Hello, I just follow this old thread to describe some of my experiences. Some points may not be valid, because I don't know the product good enough... My goal is still to annotate a game or to analyze a variation. So I open my reference database in tree mode, open from there the window wi

Re: [Scid-users] Re : Scid usability issues

I'm excited about the prospect of the wiki just because what I think Scid really needs is a place to go for all the simple questions (such as those I pose to the list) and a bunch of how-to and quick guide style information. This discussion is becoming rapidly complex-- like chess. And like chess

Re: [Scid-users] Re : Scid usability issues

scid.sourceforge.net is and remains the official site, with links to other relevant site(s). The wikis I tried, when using simple data structures (even simple files), were really limited regarding - users management - editing - ease of use. I don't know pmwiki but hope it does not have those draw

Re: [Scid-users] Re : Scid usability issues

I do too, but for organizations. That is, scid-chess.org should eventually replace scid.sourceforge.org. If it's an informational resource, outside the official project, then .info seems more precise. I am all in favor for leaving Scid's site outside of SF. -

Re: [Scid-users] Re : Scid usability issues

I'm good with something like scid-chess.info too... depends on 1) how broad we want the title to be and 2) what Pascal sees as working best with his plans! scid-chess.info and .org scidwiki.info and .org scid-wiki.info and .org scid-docs.info and .org etc are available. c On Fri, Mar 20, 2009

Re: [Scid-users] Re : Scid usability issues

So pmwiki it is ! If the domain name is accessible, I would try to get something like scid-chess.info scid-chess.org scid.chess (Too bad there is no .chess !) My criteria would be to tell that it's chess related and it's not a commerce. And you could add a subdomain : wiki.scid-chess.info Bu

Re: [Scid-users] Re : Scid usability issues

I definitely prefer the lesser administrative headaches with pmWiki compared to MediaWiki, though I've used both. I've found it pretty simply to move whole pmwiki installations (I have a couple of wikifarms at the university I work for). I've used MoinMoin but since I have negligible Python skills

Re: [Scid-users] Re : Scid usability issues

Good ! 1. I personnaly like pmwiki. It's simple, fast, and may be enough for the little wiki we would like to build. I would certainly consider it, since all resides on flat files : http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/FlatFileAdvantages Maybe flat files are the way to go if we want the site web

Re: [Scid-users] Re : Scid usability issues

I'd be happy to help with this-- I've got a server with extra bandwidth and would kick in a domain name too... scidwiki.com perhaps? The main questions for me would be if there is one wiki engine that is better than the others. I can administer/maintain it and have used a few in he past. pmWiki is

Re: [Scid-users] Re : Scid usability issues

1. There are free solutions, for instance on-wiki.net but they rely on ads and that might not be the best solution. But it's a start. 2. If it's not too much of a hasstle, and not too much bandwidth, I could try to use my free db on my site. I am not sure about the tools to use. I will think

Re: [Scid-users] Re : Scid usability issues

A wiki would make an excellent complement to the help file. Here is a nice example : http://wiki.tcl.tk/ It would alleviate the burden of writing everything to a tcl file. It can build FAQ, user cases, tutorials, tricks, resources, etc. In fact, all the site can be maintained with a wiki. If

I just found what I need for my usecase. If I open my reference database as tree I can open the "Show best games list" through a small button at the bottom.
