Adding Wiki Functionality
August 29th, 2004
As I mentioned here, I am attempting to add CamelCase Wiki functionality to this blog.
For example, I could have a AsteriskiChat page!
Update: I see that posts created as Wiki pages are still treated as normal by the front page. It would be nice if they could be ignored, no?

You may want to look at Local Names; It’s a project I’ve been working on for a while now.
You can make a namespace over at my.localnames, or wrap a wiki with a namespace description.
Then you can use a WordPress plugin that MooKitty wrote to use the names automaticaly in your blog. So, for example, you write [[WordPress]], and as long as you’ve set WordPress to http://wordpress.org/, it’ll automatically link up. Hooyah! And then if you have a wiki, and you wrapped it with a namespace, you can defer to it’s names, too!
You can even use the LocalNames in Firefox. It’s great; I use it every single day. I’ve built a pretty big namespace description of my own. I would never blog without it.
One day, our FOAF files will have an entry for “prefered Local Names Description,” (or something like it,) and then we can use our short names for things even when commenting in other people’s blogs. {:D}= That’d sure have made this message a ton easier to write.
Looking up URLs is a pain in the neck, whether browsing the web, writing a comment, or writing a blog entry.
