I have recently started using TWiki (a Perl-based wiki, found at http://TWiki.SourceForge.net). It seems to be quite functional and its developer has been very helpful. It might be nice to have an IbisWiki (IBIS under wiki) for this sort of problem definition activity, but that's just a research possibility at this point (discussed at (http://TWiki.SourceForge.net/cgi-bin/view/Codev/IbisWiki). My own use of TWiki, in any case, has to do with the Meta Project, an exploration into "integrating system metadata and documentation". Meta is a much larger (and thus, more fanciful) project than the Ports modifications that have been discussed on this list. It is closely related to the general package management question, however, so some of you might find it interesting. Feel free to take a look (http://www.cfcl.com/twiki/bin/view/Meta), comment, etc. -r P.S. The BSDcon folks have been nice enough to give me an hour to talk about Meta. It should be on Day 2, in the General Track, from 10-11. -- Rich Morin: rdm@cfcl.com, +1 650-873-7841, http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Prime Time Freeware: info@ptf.com, +1 408-433-9662, http://www.ptf.com MacPerl: http://www.macperl.com, http://www.ptf.com/ptf/products/MPPE MkLinux: http://www.mklinux.org, http://www.ptf.com/ptf/products/MKLP To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
