FinScribe Description

FinScribe is a flexible Web authoring application which provides wiki and weblog. FinScribe is a flexible web authoring application, which provides Wiki and Weblog authoring functionality in one application (commonly referred to as a "bliki".)FinScribe was written as a technology demonstration for the Fins web application framework, FinScribe has grown into a full featured application that offers the best features of many different applications in one easy to use package.FinScribe (and indeed, the whole underlying Fins framework) was born out of a desire to replace SnipSnap as the engine for this website. While it was (and is) a wonderful application, SnipSnap had a few very bad habits, such as eating a large amount of RAM and being rather slow. Additionally, SnipSnap's development pace had slowed considerably, leaving me to wonder if the shortcomings I'd encountered would be fixed or improved in a timely manner.After approximitely a week of development, FinScribe replaced SnipSnap on this website, and we haven't looked back since. We've made a large number of enhancements since then, and hope to continue the current pace of development in the future.Note: There is no SnipSnap code in FinScribe, though the CSS stylesheets shipped with FinScribe are very slightly modified versions of those included with SnipSnap. This is primarily due to the fact that this application was designed to be at least partially compatible with SnipSnap. As things continue to develop, we'll probably replace the stylesheets with something more original.Here are some key features of "FinScribe":· Flexible Wiki engine using SnipSnap compatible markup · Weblog functionality · Multiple Weblogs per application (each page may be a weblog) · Multi-user capable · Per-object Comments · Extendible via Plugins (both wiki markup and application level macros) · Produces RSS 2.0 feeds for Weblogs · Includes an RSS 0.92/1.0/2.0 feed reader · Category support · Attachment support · User administration · User self-registration · Skinnable interface using CSS · Versioning capability (new versions are created upon object saves) · Deployable as a standalone web server, as a module within Caudium, or using FastCGI (tested with Apache).Requirements:· Pike 7.6.50 or newer · libxml2 · PCRE · libfcgi (if deploying using FastCGI) · Mysql or SQLite for object storageWhat's New in This Release:· A number of new wiki macros and a dynamic tree view have been added, along with stability and usability improvements.
