2000-12-21: Tentative revision -- added section "Extendability'' (better word?) -- see WikiEngineReviewTemplateAnnotated (soon) '''Template''' ''This can be copied and renamed to create a review page for a different WikiEngine.'' '''General Notes''' ''Adding Attributes'' ''Please use the same attributes and the same sequence of attributes in each review. If you add an attribute to one review, please consider adding it at the same location in each review, the WikiEngineReviewTemplate and the WikiEngineReviewTemplateAnnotated.'' ''Reviews of New Releases'' ''Please maintain separate reviews for each version of each WikiEngine. The intent is to maintain reviews of old versions of software that might still be in use on a WikiFarm or on a specific WikiForum. See WikiEngineReviewNewRelease for the recommended approach. '' '''Notes''' See WikiEngineReview, WikiEngineReviewNotes, and WikiEngineReviewTemplateAnnotated for notes and discussion about these reviews and wikis in general. ---- '''General''' * ''Date of Review:'' * ''WikiEngine and Version Reviewed:'' * ''WikiEngine Author:'' * ''Review Summary:'' * ''Review Quality:'' * ''Standard Features Missing (see WikiEngineReviewStandardFeatures):'' ---- '''Software''' * ''Server OS:'' * ''Language:'' * ''Database:'' * ''Required Software:'' * ''Installation Difficulty:'' * ''License:'' ---- '''WikiFarms''' * ''Name / cost / limits / URL / backup schedule / comments:'' ---- '''Content''' * ''Display WardsWiki text?'' * ''Text formatting rules:'' * ''Headings?'' * ''Allowable WikiNames:'' * ''Subpages?'' * ''Max Page Size:'' * ''Tables?'' * ''Images?'' * ''Attachments?'' * ''Editing Contention Resolution:'' ---- '''Readability''' * ''Search capabilities:'' * ''Email notification:'' * ''Diffs:'' ---- '''Security''' * ''Embedded HTML (risky):'' * ''Password protection?'' * ''Delete Pages?'' * ''Revision Snapshots?'' * ''Rollback:'' * ''Delete Snapshots?'' ---- '''Working Well with Others''' * ''Static or dynamic web pages:'' * ''Indexed by search engines?'' * ''InterWiki Links?'' * ''Import / Export Features:'' * ''Translators to/from other Wikis?'' ---- '''Extendability''' * ''Pages stored in individual text files?'' * ''Pages can be added / deleted from directory and wiki will recognize automatically?'' * ''Pages stored in database?'' * ''Database provides phrase, boolean, and proximity search?'' * ''Database supports global (across pages) search and replace?'' * ''Pages can be added / deleted from database and wiki will recognize automatically?'' ---- '''Miscellaneous''' * ''Extra Features:'' * ''References:'' * * ''Browsers Used: (See WikiEngineReviewBrowsersUsed for abbreviations)'' * * ''Comments by Users:'' * ---- '''Originator / Author, Maintainer, Contributors''' * ''Originator / Author:'' * ''Contributors:'' * * -- RandyKramer ---- CategoryWikiEngineReview
