I've used that one.  I agree with you.  It is another great little editor and very powerful.  Quite easy to build sytnax files for compared to some editors.

netunify.com seems to be painfully slow to access. Is this a temporary problem, or perhaps we should find a faster site?

I could set up the wiki on a different host fairly easily.  Netunify.com does seem a bit slow, and it is a completely free site. If anyone else has a place to host the wiki that is fast, permanent, and can do CGI or virtually any other server side execution just say the word and I'll migrate it on over.

We could derive some side benefits from a new wiki system; like having real links (rather than dlanguage.netunify.com/<number>) and customizable wiki editting to do things like automatic source code formatting to html.

I originally started to set up the wiki at the "SeedWiki", here at http://www.seedwiki.com/page.cfm?wikiid=1710&doc=DeeLanguageDesign. However the format at that site wasn't very good.

Well, I can offer a free wiki based on my ProWiki software which I have been developing since Dez 1999.

I think it is quite fast (it's written in Perl and we are using high bandwidth virtual servers from VERIO and we will soon migrate to dedicated servers).

It's permanant because I do wikis professionally and intend to do so for the foreseeable future. Beside providing wikis I run a number of open wiki communities as well as a host.

It's not quite clear to me what "virtually any other server side execution" means, so you would have to explain...

BTW I just stumbled over this forum a few days ago. I'm programming in C since 1983 (and a few other languages since 1974) and I always felt a need for a "D" and I agree with most of Walters design decisions.

It might even be interesting to tranlate the current ProWiki software (which is 10000+ lines of Perl) to D and perhaps make an Open Source version available to the public.

That's pretty nice. I like how it has a page preview option, and its code handling is certainly better. Some questions:

- How hard would it be to implement some basic syntax coloring on the [[code]
.. ] blocks?  Maybe specify it with [[code:d] ... ]?
- Is it easy to configure the fonts and colors?  Its a personal preference of
course, but I find sans serif text hard to read in large quantities, and the
headers are quite large.

I'll try migrating a few pages later on. Anybody else have any thoughts on the matter?  Walter?

It shouldn't be too hard. The coloring features are in place, I would just have to write the logic.

Yes, everything is configurable. A wiki having more design is
  <http://www.thetolkienwiki.org/wiki.cgi>
  <http://www.wikiservice.at/tolkien/wiki.cgi>

Using a classic layout (without CSS, simple), the user may define his own
preferred font. E. g. the German DseWiki:
  <http://www.wikiservice.at/dse/wiki.cgi>

They may be exactly specified in the CSS code or based on HTML size.

Are there any comments or problems?
Do you want to use this wiki?

Sorry, I've been swamped at work.  I'd be in favor of migrating over if only to get an additional person in a admin role.  Its really up to Walter and the others, though. Keep the test page around and I'll try to get to testing it out soon.
