Start at wikimatrix.org. I can recommend TWiki wholeheartedly (totally unbiased! ;-)). Here is why: 1. Create wiki pages that represent chapters of manuals, can be specific to departments. 2. Define variables (macros) and use them in text. For example, if the product name is not set yet, define a BREADSLICER variable in the preferences and use it anywhere as %BREADSLICER%. You can change BREADSLICER at any time to reflect the actual product name. 3. Create manual pages that include many chapter pages. Add a TOC to it to get an automated table of content. Example: ---+!! Bread Slicer Manual %TOC% %INCLUDE{BreadSlicerChapter1}% %INCLUDE{BreadSlicerChapter2}% %INCLUDE{BreadSlicerChapter3}% %INCLUDE{BreadSlicerChapter4}% 4. Install the FootNotePlugin if you need footnotes. 5. Install the GenPDFAddOn that gives you a [ GDF ] button on every page. Use it to print the manuals. H1 headings start a new page. BTW, we authored the Wikis for Dummies book using TWiki. We added a few more twists, such as automated outlines, an extraction app to correlate bits and pieces of interviews with specific chapters. Hope this helps.

Message-ID: <90184095-D7BD-4A99-B32C-5139ABA7FA6D@highwire.stanford.edu> Adam, If you can find a wiki with an automated TOC, then you can always create a printable view of any page by using custom CSS. Some wikis let you specify a CSS file to use and you can put special print-only markup in there that does things like strip off the headers and footers, sidebars, and navigation links. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/goingtoprint/ http://www.alistapart.com/articles/designingforcontext/ http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design/ (the "Meet the media query" section) I've done this with an ancient UseMod Wiki with much success, but it doesn't have automated TOCs, so it probably wouldn't work for you. -- Mike ______________________________________________________________________________ Mike Friedman | HighWire Press, Stanford Univ | friedman at highwire.stanford.edu On Dec 2, 2010, at 11:49 PM, Peter Thoeny wrote: > Hi Adam, > > Yes, there are many wikis out there.

To make it tamper-resistant all you need to do one of two things: 1. encrypt the cookie's data before sending it to the browser and decrypt on the way back. 2.

I've submitted my talk on writing Catalyst apps with NoORM ( http://bit.ly/NoORM ). It's based on David Wheeler's and my experience writing a web app to view/grep changelog entries between two PostgreSQL versions, so definitely a real-world problem.

In short, we are trying to engage the companies using Perl, understanding what they are missing from the Perl world, (so far it was mostly more developers), raising money from them, promoting Perl and channeling some funds to the Perl community. I am thinking of visiting SCALE in February and using this opportunity to visit the "near-by"[2] cities with Perl Mongers but I need your help for this. Such visit would be a lot more useful if I can 1) introduce the Perl Ecosystem Group and the TPF events group ? to the local Perl Mongers (e.g. having an regular meeting) where, ? along the other presentations I could talk a few minutes about ? the initiative. ? That would provide an opportunity for people to discuss what we are ? trying to do and see how that can work with the local Perl Mongers. 2) Have meetings at a few Perl using companies in the area. ? ?I had such meeting in Vienna last April and two of the companies I ? ?met there are already member of PEG. Others remained interested. ? ?I think it is important to have such face to face meetings. The former can be at any non-formal place such as you usual meeting place or at a pub or whatever you like. For the latter I'd need your help in building up contacts with managers (e.g. CTOs, VP RnDs ) of the companies where you work. I'd be glad to accept any help there. Please send me e-mail on or off list regarding which companies you might be able to get me introduced. regards ?Gabor [1] Perl Ecosystem Group ? ? ? http://perl-ecosystem.org/ [2] coming from Israel, the whole West Coast of US is near-by to LA :) -- Gabor Szabo http://szabgab.com/ From james at ActionMessage.com Sun Dec 12 23:48:17 2010 From: james at ActionMessage.com (James Briggs) Date: Sun, 12 Dec 2010 23:48:17 -0800 Subject: [sf-perl] OT: Apache Lucene/Solr Meetup blog post Message-ID: <20101213074536.M97979@actionmessage.com> Hi folks.

Perl Mongers: It was been a pleasure meeting you in November; thanks for asking many questions at my "Structured Wikis at Work - Enterprise 2.0 in Action" talk! Let me know if you have any questions that came to mind after the talk. Most Perl software used at work is behind the scenes, invisible to people who could support and grow the Perl community. TWiki is one of the more visible Perl projects, e.g. it lends itself to get visibility to Perl. The TWiki community has been thinned out by the most recent fork, nevertheless we have rock solid releases and increased contributions. I am currently trying to grow the community to a healthy size, e.g. I am looking to grow the TWiki ecosystem of cintributos, consultants and users. I invite you to get involved with the TWiki community. As a contributor you can actively make a difference and help shape the product. Learn how to get involved and see some cool projects you could implement at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/ GettingInvolved. Meet the TWiki team at a release meetings on IRC; the next one is on Monday 2010-12-20, http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/IstanbulReleaseMeeting2010x12x20 . We'd love to get you involved! Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions how to grow our community.

We've been through two turns of the crank, each of which moved us further from the world of chaotic updates pulling from CPAN-du-jour and closer to our goal of a version controlled mirror of CPAN and our internal CPAN-style Perl packages nicely integrated with Dist::Zilla etc.... A grand candidate for this project will be familiar with how the CPAN archives are put together, can explain how local::lib does its job, is comfortable digging into Dist::Zilla and writing new plugins, and knows how to make subversion sit up and take notice (even though git might be cooler). +1 if you're an active enough member of the community to have a PAUSE account, +5 if you know how to use it. Can you explain why modern Perl might or might not lead to enlightenment? What's the difference? That kind of thing. You'll be working on site in South San Francisco, CA. Pretty much anything related to this should end up back on CPAN (though we reserve the right to keep our dirty laundry to ourselves). Interested?

True enough, but what you're sending me is a sales pitch that's trying to convince me that you're a better candidate than all of the other people who are sending me stuff. Why would you do anything that makes it even the least little bit harder for me to consider your application. For all you know I'll be banging through these emails while BART'ing home, or sitting somewhere where I *don't* have internet access (e.g. a cabin in Kingsvale after a day's skiing). g.

It will in fact be happening January 15th, 2011, and the deadline for Talk Submissions is December 17th. Worse yet the deadline for booking the hotel rooms with our discount rate is December 16th! The call for speakers is open and we have had some speakers submit talks already on Catalyst, Moose, Javascript, Template::Zoom, MozRepl. However we need more! Additionally there will be space for a hackathon on the Sunday after for people who are interested in getting together and working on a project or two. The cost for the workshop is $20 USD for non-students, and $10 for students. Finally for the first year we are offering the Introduction to Moose corporate training course on January 14th. This class was developed by Dave Rolsky. It has been presented several times at YAPC's here and in Europe, as well as at various Perl Workshops around the country. The cost for this course is $180 USD, which for corporate style training is dirt cheap.

The work is to assist in the creation of a new Content Management and Publishing system which must take over from a legacy system with no interuption in service. The legacy systems are primarily written in Perl. More Details ------------ The contractors will: * Wrap the legacy systems in automated tests to reduce the risk of making changes. * Modify existing systems to enable encapsulation or replacement by a new system currently under development by staff. * Take on most of the day-to-day work on the existing systems, to free up staff to work on the new systems. Must-Have qualities: * Excellent plays-well-with-others skills. No lone-wolf coders. * Expert in Object Oriented Perl and Perl technologies such as CPAN, various testing modules, etc. * Proven ability to add automated tests to and safely make changes in legacy code. * Experience with and enthusiasm for agile development. * Be highly organized, able to analyze competing priorities, and help stakeholders make good decisions to resolve priority conflicts. * Extensive experience on two or more *nix systems (Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, etc.) * References Nice-to-Have skills and experience: * Active participation in one or more Open Source projects with multiple developers. * Mac OS X * JavaScript skills, especially Sproutcore * Cocoa/Objective-C * SVN * git * buildbot * RESTful web services * Ruby/Ruby on Rails * Familiar with and in general agreement with "Perl Best Practices" by Damian Conway.
