Thanks, GalaxyMaster, for setting that up. Docuwiki's syntax is a little wierd but works well enough. =)I'd like to point out that this weirdness is a result of DokuWiki's goal to provide Wiki owners with an almost plain-text on-disk version of the Wiki. This on-disk version is still well structured and could be post-processed with a great number of text utils like docutils and alike.
Ahhhh... that's kinda cool.
Feel free to start adding content. I think the structure is ok enough to start with, we'll see how it goes from there. It's pretty straight-forward and should be easy enough to add to (I just added a fewRe: the structure. It's worth to mention that DokuWiki (unlike many other wiki engines) provides an efficient way to add structure to the entire wiki. There are namespaces and pages. Imagine that a namespace is a directory and a page is a file. This way you can create a well structured hierarchy of pages (much like you do with your files on your workstation/server). For instance, http://oss-security.openwall.org/wiki/vendors/list could provide a list of all vendors participating in the project and http://oss-security.openwall.org/wiki/vendors/openwall could be a page/namespace for Openwall as a vendor.
That could be useful down the road, definitely.
Moreover, DokuWiki allows to limit access on per namespace basis. For example, you can grant create/modify/delete permissions on /wiki/vendors/mandrake to Mandrake folks, while others would be disallowed to change anything there. Indeed this is just to make you aware of such a feature of DokuWiki.
Errr... it's been Mandriva for a few years now... =) But I like the ACLs there, that's definitely cool.
Additionally, I would like to point out that we are running a bare installation of DokuWiki with a default (minimal) set of plugins. There is tremendous number of syntax plugins for DokuWiki and if you need some additional functionality just notify me (I'll search for a suitable plugin, will install it, and will provide you with usage instructions).
Good to know. I don't think we're lacking for anything (yet), but as things grow, who knows? Sounds like docuwiki was a good choice. Now makes me wish I had looked at it a little more closely before settling on mediawiki a few years ago. Oh well. -- Vincent Danen @ http://linsec.ca/
