This weekend I did a lot of hacking on my WikiClone. It's approaching usability, and the cvs backend is working great. I spent some time trying out other WikiClones for ideas; I seem to have all of them beat in the WayBackMode department. Next I am going to add either tagging or (possibly) branching support. I think branching probably detracts from the WikiEssense though.

My wiki is currently about 120 lines of code, plus another 200 lines in plugins. It seems that most wiki implementations are basically small.

This got me thinking about what a small change a wiki is over the regular web. We were so close back in 1994 -- and it slipped away and turned into the general mess (advogato nonwithstanding) the web is today.

'Scuse the periodic I-Hate-The-Web drivel...

I was fairly productive today, got a lot of support utilities written for i18n of packages that use debconf, and a fair amount of bugfixing done.

I am fed up with people who pop up on some Debian list with a gripe about the GPL. Why does Debian attact these boring discussions? Mail RMS -- sheesh.
