Foswiki 1.1 Admin dashboard preview

Tag: enterprise, foswiki, nextwiki, open source, perl, twiki, twikiapplication, twikifork, wiki, wiki application — Sven Dowideit @ 1:34 pm

I’ve been working on expanding the use of Foswiki Applications and in the process began to build (using TML) a much more usable user interface for configuring and managing your Foswiki.

So – to the picture show :)

SystemAdmin WebHome

Easy to access over-view

SystemAdmin SiteSettings

Quickly customise your Foswiki site.

SystemAdmin VisualSettings

Admin friendly selection of visual settings

Many of these features already do work in Foswiki 1.0.4 – by installing FoswikiApplications Contrib, but they are a work in progress – and getting more advanced every week.

Foswiki 1.0.4 released – OSX, Windows and Debian installers ready too

Tag: debian, enterprise, foswiki, new, nextwiki, perl, twiki, twikiapplication, twikifork, wiki — Sven Dowideit @ 8:33 pm

Foswiki 1.0.4 has been released with more than 100 bug fixes and some small enhancements. Upgrading is highly recommended. If you did not upgrade from TWiki yet, now is a good time as Foswiki 1.0.4 fixes more around 300 bugs relative to TWiki 4.2.4.

Grab it now from : http://foswiki.org/Download/WebHome – the straight and upgrade archives, OSX installer and my Windows Installers are here.

My debian package repository now spans Foswiki 1.0.4 and 168 Foswiki extensions – its never been easier to install :)

see http://fosiki.com/Foswiki_debian

Over the 4 months of our project’s existence, 33 developers have been involved in making ~3000 commits – next up, the future !

productivity boost – get 2 more hours in your day!

Tag: new — Sven Dowideit @ 9:39 am

For years (over 15) I’ve lived with the need to get about 10 hours sleep per night – initially to recover from Post-viral syndrome, and then later just because thats what it took to be at my most productive.

Like most people, I’ve longed to get some of those hours back, preferably without the insanity of Uberman zombie sleep.
Last week, we did it! I now wake up refreshed in 8-9 hours! every night, and less if I work through the wee hours.

The secret? We bought a new bed. Not a cheap one either – thou the 50% off sale made that decision much much easier. Total cost – equivalent to 30 hours consulting – which is a heck of a bargain, given that I now have ~ 300-600 more hours per year to work, rest and play.

So, if you need more time in your day, or perhaps just more regularly productive days – go out and buy a new bed.

debian repository for Foswiki

Tag: debian, enterprise, foswiki, new, nextwiki, perl, twiki, twikiapplication, twikifork, wiki — Sven Dowideit @ 12:18 am

I’ve set up a debian repository that you can help test the release package before it gets uploaded into debian proper.

To try it out, add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://fosiki.com/Foswiki_debian/ stable main contrib
deb-src http://fosiki.com/Foswiki_debian/ stable main contrib

and then run

apt-get update
apt-get install apache2 foswiki

This repository contains about 108 foswiki-extensions – auto updated nightly direct from foswiki.org. The packages have as many dependencies as I was able to coerce my build scripts to work out – but there is more work needed.

Sorry, you will get a gpg error on these packages, they are updated nightly direct from foswiki.org – and signing the repository requires personal intervention (as far as I can see).

Foswiki delivers results.

Tag: debian, enterprise, foswiki, nextwiki, open source, perl, twiki, twikiapplication, twikifork, wiki — Sven Dowideit @ 9:51 pm

In just 10 weeks, the Foswiki project has re-built the project infrastructure, fixed an additional 100 bugs over and beyond those we fixed in the TWiki source repository before the fork, moved to a new web application architecture (FSA) and undertaken a detailed security audit, fixing at their roots a large number of potential exploits.

Additionally, we already have the following easy installers:

    Windows Installer – I’ve built an installer using Apache 2.2 and Strawberry Perl, making it possible to install Perl dependencies.
    OSX Leopard installer – Matthias Wientapper has built an pkg
    Debian and Ubuntu linux – I’ve ported my TWiki package builder to Foswiki, and now have a live updated (nightly) Debian repository containing Foswiki v1.0.0 and 105 of the 109 Extensions uploaded to http://foswiki.org/Extensions
    Virtual machine image – Eugen Mayer has built a virtual machine, with detailed instructions for use with Virtual Box and VMWare.

So given the over 1800 commits in 10 weeks, a release, and much much more, It seems to me that Foswiki is a success..
