Goodbye Instiki, Hello JunebugWiki

If you’ve spent much time on the Ruby on Rails wiki, you know that the spam situation smells like rotten fruit.

We’ve been using Instiki, the same software as the Rails wiki for the PLANET ARGON Documentation Project and the spam situation was becoming an annoyance. So, we’ve switched to JunebugWiki as step one, to see how it holds up. The default styling was a nice improvement because we haven’t had much chance to update the instiki one. It might not solve all of our spam problems, but in the short term, it appears to be a more elegant solution. It’s also the first application built with camping that I have personally deployed.

So… I present to you… the new PLANET ARGON Documentation Project.

In other news, it appears that RubyURL has caught the eye of spammers, which sucks. I’m still thinking over a few possible ways to try and prevent that. :-/

Rails Wiki backup

Since the Rails Wiki is currently down, I took the backup and stuck it online. (perhaps this could become a read-only html mirror of the site)

http://railswiki.pdxruby.org/

UPDATE

Please note that backup is not back up ;-)

This will be managed by the Portland Ruby Brigade

UPDATE 2

DHH says that the i2 will be up and running later today! :-)
