[WebMacro-user] Announcement: WebMacro Wiki Release

[Lane S. <la...@op...>]

  Greetings,

I am pleased to announce Release 3 of WebMacro Wiki. For those of you 
who are new to WebMacro Wiki, it is a powerful documentation platform 
allowing you to create and edit documentation on the web without knowing 
HTML. If you can create an email like the ones you write everyday, you 
can create and publish in a single step a WebMacro Wiki page for others 
to browse, share and edit.

The Wiki documentation model on the Web is well-established in the 
software and open-source communities where there is a need to share, 
create, edit and publish documentation, process and know-how among a 
community, a corporation, or an industry.

The purpose of this letter is to let you know that there is now a secure 
Wiki for the Web based on this documentation idiom.

WebMacro Wiki is open-source under the APL license, meaning you can take 
the code and create a commercial product.

In Release 3, unlike most Wiki's I know of, you get security, 
authorization, approveability, and remote administration. With these 
features, you can create small documentation zones 
(http://policy.personnel.mycompany.com) for a subject domain, outside or 
inside a firewall, available to a select group of users whom the 
administrator has the right to approve or not.

These features are in addition to powerful audit features such as 
unlimited versions of a Web page document, content differencing from one 
page to the prior version, document preview, and moderated pages 
editable only by the moderators of the site.

The combination of these features plus the ease-of-use of Wiki page 
creation and publishing place WebMacro Wiki in a class by itself (in my 
compiled universe :) ).  Furthermore, WebMacro Wiki is easily extended 
for further documentation purposes by anyone with moderate Java 
programming skills.

Using the links below, you can see how an entire knowledge space (the 
WebMacro Open Source Project) was documented on the web by a large 
community. Not a single FTP, SSH, WebDav, DreamWeaver, Flash or other 
thousand must-have tools are ever required with a WebMacro Wiki site. To 
see how easy it is to create a WM wiki page, register at the site below 
and create a page for yourself (you will be prompted on registration). 
Be sure to visit the hints page for formatting options.

More work is in store for Release 3 versions to further enhance 
administration and manageability.

http://webmacro.org and http://webmacro.org/WebMacroWiki for more 
information and to download the java source from sourceforge.net. Please 
reply to me if you would like your own WebMacro Wiki set up for 
evaluation in your organization.

Many thanks to the contributions of the WebMacro development team and 
community. Without them, this release would not have been possible.

Kindest regards,

--
