WIKI in vbull. NOT a port or bridge. But to actually make a forum a wiki, or very wiki like forum. I think I've seen all the elements are there in separate hacks at one point or another...but the right mix would make a simple but well-integrated wiki.
Basically, all that would be needed i think is:
- View/Save Edit history
- Ability to set choice of usergroups to have complete post and thread editing abilities for A SELECT forum.
(ie: permissions completely different for select forum as now, but INCLUDING permission settings for editing posts. so have one forum be "OPEN".)
- Ability to post articles (viki pages) without all the usual postbit stuff. Just ID maybe (this is not a big requirement though)
- Ability to allow replies or not to first post.
I may be missing something... but I'm those are certainly the main elements that would be needed for everyone to BBAMM!!! have there own
inhouse wiki.
Would be great for instructions, faqs, and any posts that needed constant updates and well..all the things that wiki is normally good for. Anyway... beats having to deal with annoying wiki protocol and/or hacks to bridge it mediawiki or whatever wiki software someone uses.
any takers? supporters of the idea?
