For the record here are the bug reports:

So, I'm wondering if there is a better way to get bugs fixed. If source code changes are made on the open source Wikidot v1 repository, do the changes flow through to wikidot.com blogs? If not, can the relevant patches be sent through to another destination, e.g. email address? If so, what is the delay between changes to the repository here and the live wikidot.com wikis?

Thanks.

Are there any other tables that need records added or updated?

On a related note (for purely selfish reasons!), are there any plans in the works to allow wikidot.com users to create an export of their wiki sites that could be imported into an open source install? I realize that extra steps would be involved with file attachments, etc., but it would be a nice feature to make a full backup/restore of a site easier.

After porting just a couple of pages, I noticed some strange behavior with the [[button...]] and [[collapsible...]] functions. Rather than bore you with the details, I have set up a sandbox site so you can see firsthand what's happening.

Ed's Sandbox

I can't promise that this server will be up 24/7, or how long it will be available, but I would really appreciate it if some members of the development team would take just a minute to look. I have permissions pretty wide open, so no need to create an account or become a member to play in this sandbox.

This is all I have found so far with my stand-alone server. I will continue to update my sandbox page if I find other issues.

Thanks,

Unless I made a mistake in my install script, it appears you made a change in the last day or two to the distributed apache.vhost.wikidot.conf file that causes the Apache server to fail upon startup.

Some of the new %{WIKIDOT:xxx} variables don't appear to be getting set properly somewhere. When I reverted back to the older version of the config file, things started working again.

Are there new steps that need to be added to the Debian/Ubuntu install guides?

Apologies if I made the mistake - my install scripts were working well 2 days ago and I only made minor changes that should not have caused this, but maybe I missed something.

Thanks,
Ed

After browsing the source, I've got a pretty good understanding of Wikidot V1 operation, so I'll try to set it up under WinXP SP2 (and maybe Vista after SP1 is available). I think a lot of the effort is just learning where and when to download precompiled binary files and when to compile from source. The configuration of each component is also likely to be different under XP, so I'm keeping notes on what works and what doesn't while I juggle the components to get them working on Wikidot V1. It looks like V2 requires more config and extensions, so I'm concentrating on V1 first.

If anyone else is working on this, we should share notes so we don't both go down each fruitless path of implementation and testing.

I have a regular day job, so progress will be as I find time in the evenings and on weekends. If someone else has more time to devote, I would be glad to take on small tasks as needed.

I'm in Boulder, CO US about -7 hours UTC.
