We plan to replace this wiki (eventually) with a wiki written in Racket, to which we will migrate the existing content.
(footer of the racket wiki on GitHub at https://github.com/racket/racket/wiki)
A wiki using scribble as the wiki text!
To replace https://github.com/racket/racket/wiki.
DRAFT - subject to change
GET http(s)://server/filename.html
- file exist -> serve static file at specified path
- file missing -> Redirect if applicable, otherwise start Edit flow
Edit flow
edit form to create new page
GET http(s)://server/filename.html?action=edit
-> serve edit page servlet that retrieves scribble source and puts it in a form
GET http(s)://server/filename <filename not found in #:server-root-path>
-> serve edit page adding parameters ?action=edit or maybe new
POST form to http(s)://server/filename.html
-> update scribble source file & generate target html file in #:server-root-path and redirect to target html file at http(s)://server/filename.html
the Scribble source and the generated html are in separate folders,
;; folder to store html static files
(define page-root (build-path (current-directory) "html"))
;; folder to store scribble source (or other source format)
(define scribble-root (build-path (current-directory) "scribble"))
- filename.html is in
#:extra-files-paths
akapage-root
- I'm trying to make it with plain old s hence the use of POST (or can I use PUT or invent a verb in modern browsers?)
- convert scribble to html
- users/authentication (openID?)
- git for versions (of the scribble files)
- history, scribble-diff, rollback
- An editor(in RacketScript), to provide a better UX than a form textbox
- editing from DrRacket
- pollen instead of scribble (pollen allows undefined identifiers - which scribble doesn't - which would be useful in creating new pages in a wiki-like fashion) pollen blog: https://github.com/otherjoel/thenotepad may be relevant
- support redirects
- what else?
