I tried swiki and it was easy to get started with. I'll see about installing it in apache on linux (ubuntu) next weekend.

What is the state of pier? I can handle up to a 5.5 minute install (once I'm done configuring my web/email server for virtual domains (a 2 month install at least ;-) )

Howdy all,

I just started using squeak. I am interested in running a squeak wiki on a Linux server. I see that there are various versions that I can install. Can I get some input on the benefits of using swiki, pier and any other choices?

We will be using the wiki to collaborate with kids that are learning about computers.

Hi Gary,

I have uploaded a preloaded image for pier. It is available on www.squeak.org site in the downloads section.

Now that most of the features of pier can be controlled via a web-gui I think that it is ready to have a go and see what you think.

1. gui for creating and renaming pier instances.
2. gui for managing users and groups.
3. gui for switching persistency schemes. (Null by default).
4. Clickable text scripts for starting and stopping the server (you can

edit the scripts to change the port)

Just download and go, should be less than 3 mins install time!

If you wish to customise the stylesheet then there is a how-to provided with the image. One known issue is that if you have any problems with this image freezing inexplicably then use a 3.6 VM. (this appears to be a problem with my specific linux instalation)

Do let us know how you get on. Why not join the smallwiki mailing list.

best regards

Keith

Thanks keith this is was what missing to Pier. ESUg was planning to ask lukas and netstyle for some features (back end) and to give it to the community. But these guys are working too much :)
