This is an email to get you to try WikiLens: ** http://www.wikilens.org We've had 4-5 releases since I last emailed the PhpWiki list. We also have - entries for 1705 movies. 492 albums, 396 books, 58 video games, 52 beers, ... - 132 users (honestly around 10 active ones) - 8400 ratings This is a project essentially forked from PhpWiki 1.3.9. I'd love for someone to look at reintegrating it (the source tarball is at http://www.wikilens.org/wikilens-src.tgz). There are a bunch of changes deep into the code, mostly about WikiDB, I think. Probably we should be looking at merging, but our energy ran out waiting for 1.3.11. Dan WikiLens (http://www.wikilens.org) is a community-maintained repository of opinion. Right now, opinions are expressed as ratings, comments, or lists, which are digested to show people useful information. For example, ratings are turned into recommendations, lists are mentioned on each item page. Think of Amazon, Epinions, MovieLens, or other web sites about things (books, video games, movies, beers, vacation spots, plants, etc.) and what people think of them, except WikiLens is non-commercial, editable by all, open content, open source. Users can create items and even whole categories! This is a wiki + recommender + social network (your buddies influence your recommendations). We are where Wikipedia was in 2001: a glorious idea to take over the universe. That's where you come in! There are still tons of features to add and bugs to squash. However, it's no fun without users, so create an account and try us out! Rate a few things, create some items, make some comments, invite some buddies. Remember, the most important thing is your opinions; helping with the facts are good, but ratings or reviews are even better. Most of all, have fun! |
