[Phpwiki-talk] idle thoughts ...

[Adam S. <la...@sp...>]

one of the things i've been looking around for and thinking about is
integrating a wiki into a weblog.  though there has been a reasonable
amount of talk about this the closest i've seen is drupals book module
(which is brand spanking new).

i'm curious about two things.

has any thought been given to making phpwiki work as a php-nuke module (or
better imho a drupal module?).  i honestly have no idea what would be
involved in this.

second thing i think would be easy, but one of the tacks i'm thinking
about is using standard weblog rdf features available in a wiki.  what
would it take to make an rdf version of (for example) the RecentChanges
page so that a weblog could include it as a slashbox?

basically what i want to do (this is still a very unfinished idea so bear
with me :-) is have a weblog front end but use a wiki as a back end data
store.  the problem with weblogs is that once a story is a couple weeks
old (sometimes just a couple days old) it's pretty much dead.  wouldn't it
be cool if information could be moved from a weblog (where discussion
happens better then on a wiki) into a wiki where the thoughts can be
maintained and refined over time.

if you're curious rusty of k5 put up some interesting thoughts on meatball
wiki a while ago:
