- Following the examples of possible new uses of Web 2.0, now let's try to imagine how they could improve the current wikis, collaboration using Web 2.0 allows us .
-
- I present the first version of LiveWiki . LiveWiki Wiki is a living (hence the name;)). Wiki in the sense of being a site editable by many people ( http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki ), and live in the sense that we have been giving the word in the notes.
-
- To put it another way: We forget having to "refresh" , "recharge" , "reload" or "refresh" of the page to see if it changed. When the page changes, all the people viewing that page will see the change at the very moment it happens. Likewise, all connected users can change the content. And, as in the examples above, the chat between users connected serves to coordinate the work.
-
- This version is still very simple ... but it has been clear improvements wikis may suffer if we get these technologies adoption increases.
-
- This is a list of things NOT LiveWiki makes this version, but I intend to include in future versions:
- pessimistic lock timeout for editing. To edit a page (or part thereof), first obtain a lock. When someone has a lock on the one hand, no except you can change, and nobody can get a lock until the button is released. Feedback visual
- block: Users who do NOT have locked the page (or part thereof) will see that someone has it locked with a background color change. They could even see who has blocked and harassed by the chat to let go. ;-)
- visual edition of the content. This version uses one of the wiki syntax (specifically using the syntax of the Swiki). The idea is to make a visual editor (or adapt one already made, like the TinyMCE http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ ). Reorganization
- visual content. Something in the way of http://tool-man.org/examples/edit-in-place.html . We must think like finish combine that with the locks.
- Editing of the content. In order to reduce the update conflicts, you can modify only a portion of the page while other users may be, at once, altering other parts. Etc.
-
- And these are some of the features which are included in this release:
- Live Update of pages when a page link referenced in a change of name.
- Live Update of pages that have links to pages that still are not created, when they are created (the link to an uncreated page is different, visually, a link to a page that already exists). Links
- type "Embedded." When we link this way * [One Page] * content on the page named "A Page" be embedded in the containing page. The same for a link of type * {A} * page, but then embeds the page title (instead of content).
- There are pages and pages modifiable non-modified (as the Pages page, which displays a list of all pages created in the wiki).
-
- And to continue with self-imposed tradition, I leave a screencast that shows some of the features of LiveWiki.
