Re: Cocoon Competence Center Updates (WhyWiki?)

[Derek Hohls <DH...@csir.co.za>]

welcome to the wonderful world of wiki!
for a wiki-background on *exactly* this 
issue, please look at:
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WhyWikiWorks
and
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiWipeout
and, for an alternative type of wiki:
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?SecureWiki
and, yes, there are probably alternative ways
of doing things - any suggestions as to one
that retains all the benefits of wiki and provides
a guarenteed "security"??
 
(FWIW; most people are ornery and try and do things
that they are told they *can't* do or that are "impossible"
to do... like breaking into DoD computers; being told
you *can* delete pages on a wiki is just not attractive
enough to make you want to do it!)

On the same topic, I am more distressed at this editing policy. Someone
could easily be malicious and log in and erase everything. Are we sure
there isn't a better way to do this?

Greetings, I have added the following information to the cocoon
competence center page on installing cocoon. Please feel free to review
the following sections and smack me around if I said anything incorrect.
The new sections are. 
 
* Deploying on an application server. 
* What is essential?

Thanks, Derek, right on target.

Anyway, if anyone would be really malicious, we still have daily backups 
of the Wiki.
