Just trying out this new wiki. Seems nice and simple. Don't know what to write here so I'll just write something about this wiki...

I banged my head bloody against the wall because of av failures and problems while trying to install PhpWiki. Installing a working WikkaWiki on the other hand took me less than 10 minutes :) (I had some problems, especially to ge mod_rewrite working, but that was mainly my own fault.)

The lack of information is frustrating, it seems like one has to read the WikkaModifications to learn some things (that's how I learn how to disable comments, but I probably I missed it somewhere more obvious place).

Next thing to do will be hacking the files to customize my WikkaWiki. My wiki will only be edited by me, so basically I'll try to strip things off to get a really clean look (no need for others than me to se wiki-related and WikkaWiki-related stuff). There is no language support as far as I can tell, so I'll manually translate what I need to Swedish. And of course I'll hack the CSS too.

Adrian,

Thanks for stopping by. I'd be interested in getting a copy of your Swedish translation. I've had another request for a German version, so I'm considering how to code Wikka to easily allow different language translations.

If possible, come back and post a link to your site after you've hacked the CSS so I can see what it looks like.

I wasn't planning on a full translation, just the parts that will be public after I've "stripped" my wiki. No visistor will be able to edit pages, just me. It's mostly an experiment to see if wiki is usable as a (part of a) personal homepage. All the parts that only I will see will remain English. That was my plan. But if there's a bigger interest in translation everyting to Swedish, maybe I could help with that.

Making it easy to allow different languages is no small change, from what I've seen in other projects (removing all languagespecific text from the code and using language files) but I guess that is the way to go if you want to support more languages (and simple translations).

I'll get back and post a link to my site if there's something I feel worth showing :)
