Introduction
Our
PMWiki Site has been going on since October 2007, but I'm getting the urge to try yet another Wiki Application. This time, I figure the best way to get this going is to write as many pages and learn the intricacies of TikiWiki as I go along. It would be a challenge to re-discover all I know and come to like in PMWiki and write something similar in this wiki.
My aim is to try to stick, as much as possible, to the out-of-the box feature of TikiWiki. I have acquired lots of styles in PMWiki but largely because of plugins made available by generous developers. After a while, however, its the native capability of the software that are often used.
Why we keep a Wiki
This wiki is intended for personal use. My wife and children wants a single place where they could check the recipes they like to cook, the location of DVDs or whether we have a copy or not, the location of CDs or DivX we are accumulating.
As for me - I also keep a record of budget expenses, cycling logs and even blood pressure. All other pages are proving to be useful every now and then. I could also store those 1 page manuals used for the table clock or cycle computer which seems to be always missing when the DST or regular time switch over.
Sometimes - I cut and paste advices from the net because I know they apply to me. It saves having to go looking for those settings and advices again.
There's also one more reason why I'm switching to TikiWiki - it's editing style is closer to MediaWiki - the engine used for WikiPedia. I believe that one day, wiki editing will standardised and since these are the biggest - they are likely to be the standard and perhaps this site will continue to be useful - if only within the family. I could have chosen MediaWiki but I don't really want to share my blood pressure records to everyone - at least not as easily searchable by Google. MediaWiki is not designed to hide pages of wiki without hiding everything as well.
Anyway, the part I'm sharing is in the left side called
Main Menu.
