You'd think they could find a happier stock photo for their "demo"

RE: Why are cats immune to chemtrails?
Completely blind it seems - some of the other gems from the "science" section on that site:
Are Travolta’s Gay Rumors Just a Cover-Up for His Role in the Chemtrails Conspiracy?
Are Deep-Sea Dinosaurs Living Proof of the Biblical Timeline?
AQUATRAILS: Harmless Backsplash or Deadly Chemtrails of the Sea?
Monsanto, Now Breeding Cows With HolesThat last one made me LOL so much I looked it up, apparently they're cannulated cows, a surgical process that allows access to the rumen for research purposes - a process that was developed in the 1920s

What makes a wiki suck?
For reasons I want to build my own markdown based wiki (maybe scratching a mongodb itch... maybe). One that doesn't suck and that people want to use.
It's still very early doors in the development - it's .NET based and released under a GPL license. Couple of in-progress screenshots below.
What I would like to know from the community is : "What makes a wiki suck?"

RE: :fa_eye: The Official Lurkers' Thread™
Howdy, long time lurker (been reading since it pretty much started) - posted once a long time ago (when the Daily WTF was the only place I could turn) - http://forums.thedailywtf.com/forums/p/4485/102686.aspx#102686. Since I'm not a massive forum user I've not emerged because of the Discourse debate - just because it's about time I actually started talking to people.

RE: Entity Framework 6 vs. Third-Party SPROC
Some disassembled source that might assist:
private static int GetMemberOrdinalFromReader(DbDataReader storeDataReader, EdmMember member, EdmType currentType, Dictionary<string, FunctionImportReturnTypeStructuralTypeColumnRenameMapping> renameList) { string renameForMember = ColumnMapFactory.GetRenameForMember(member, currentType, renameList); int ordinal; if (!ColumnMapFactory.TryGetColumnOrdinalFromReader(storeDataReader, renameForMember, out ordinal)) throw new EntityCommandExecutionException(System.Data.Entity.Resources.Strings.ADP_InvalidDataReaderMissingColumnForType((object) currentType.FullName, (object) member.Name)); else return ordinal; } private static bool TryGetColumnOrdinalFromReader(DbDataReader storeDataReader, string columnName, out int ordinal) { if (storeDataReader.FieldCount == 0) { ordinal = 0; return false; } else { try { ordinal = storeDataReader.GetOrdinal(columnName); return true; } catch (IndexOutOfRangeException ex) { ordinal = 0; return false; } } }
The only bit stands out as possibly odd is :
if (storeDataReader.FieldCount == 0)
Unless of course the reader has no fields...

RE: Why are cats immune to chemtrails?
Most of the experiments were conducted by tying a piece of food to a string and inserting it through the hole into St. Martin's stomach. Every few hours, Beaumont would remove the food and observe how well it had been digested.
That's my kind of science right there!

RE: What makes a wiki suck?
That applies to the output from the parser. Not the rendering. So the using equals / dashes thing on a subsequent line to change the output of the line before (add H1/H2 tags) is out.

RE: What makes a wiki suck?
Actually, I think you're right - I'll reword it as "The contents of a line cannot affect the output of any preceding line"

RE: What makes a wiki suck?
Say $$$ indicates a div (it won't - but whatever)
$$$ A line $$$
Becomes
<div> A line </div>
The first one opens a block, the third line closes. So the first line effects how the third is output. Hope this makes sense, it's been a long day.

RE: What makes a wiki suck?
Oh no - not given up yet - just taking it all in. Didn't realise I'd spawn this much interest - although including markdown was always going to be a red flag (which I've decided to ditch and fuck my life up and write my own goddamn specification - line-down )
A lot of what I'm reading is surprising, the cmd line access to reset a password is just pure skull fuckery. I'm genuinely hopeful of doing better in the tooling / admin / curating respect.
Currently the editor will be a live-preview of a line-down editor to various HTML renders. A secondary aspect may be switching the line-done editor for a simplified WYSIWYG control (at user choice). -
RE: What makes a wiki suck?
If you go with Markdown, you're going to have the same Wikipedia problem where the only people who can tolerate/enjoy the process of editing an article
How so? I agree Wikipedia is a MESS - that's not Markdowns fault though surely? WikiMedias maybe...

RE: What makes a wiki suck?
Which is why I'd be using it... Simpler syntax, shorter learning curve, less complexity.

RE: What makes a wiki suck?
Sorry - wasn't ignoring it - trying to take it all in
The main audience is for people that want to be able to compose structured and organised content without worrying unduly about syntax.
The templating approach is a definite requirement, I want as much of the presentation to be determined by the structure around the article than the article itself (having said that article stereotypes will come in handy).
Markdowns role is limited to the rendering of the article content to an article HTML fragment.

RE: What makes a wiki suck?
Thanks for the headsup - had already planned on them being distinct, looks like a good choice.

RE: What makes a wiki suck?
The general notion is markdown -> html fragment (unstyled) -> template (introduces classes) + site layout (introduces stylesheets) = site page html.
Live preview is a must, and front / back end parsers MUST match.

RE: What makes a wiki suck?
I'd much rather use a markdown than a markup - I want the content writers and editors to be presentation agnostic (how realistic this is remains to be seen). Worst comes to worst the markdown components are well segmented and can be replaced - just can't see there's anything better.
