Hello all. This month I was inspired by MoinMoin release notes a little. <BR>
<BR>
<B>What is it</B><BR>
Zwiki is a Zope product for building wikis - a special kind of website that's easy for anyone to edit.<BR>
<BR>
<B>What's changed</B><BR>
New issuebrowser/IssueBrowser form, preliminary built-in RSS support, bugfixes. See full release notes at the end of this message.<BR>
<BR>
<B>News</B> Development has been quiet, and picking up again in late January. Code contributions this month included an internationalisation fix from huron. Discussion has been steady. Bug closing rate has been low. Cleanup of code, docs, and issue categories is ongoing. I posted my idea of priorities for this year at <A HREF="http://zwiki.org/ZwikiRoadmap2005">http://zwiki.org/ZwikiRoadmap2005</A> . <BR>
<BR>
We are in the process of reviewing and upgrading our copyright and commit policies. Some new STX contributions are on hold because of this. If you'd like to help, review <A HREF="http://zwiki.org/LegalDepartment">http://zwiki.org/LegalDepartment</A> and give your input on the zwiki list, and update your information at <A HREF="http://zwiki.org/ZwikiContributors">http://zwiki.org/ZwikiContributors</A> .<BR>
<BR>
zwiki.org passed 2000 pages and the tracker passed 1000 issues at the end of last year. <BR>
The server hosting zwiki.org and zopewiki.org has been upgraded to zope 2.7.3 and had its thread count reduced to 2. It now generally runs stably within our 256M limit (thanks, zope hackers) and remains up except when restarted to install new code. It performs more slowly during google crawls. See also: <A HREF="http://zwiki.org/WikiStats">http://zwiki.org/WikiStats</A> .<BR>
<BR>
zopewiki.org has 440 pages and has is receiving a steady, low rate of edits and votes. (However many of these are anonymous votes which will not be remembered.). <A HREF="http://zopewiki.org/EpozBook">http://zopewiki.org/EpozBook</A> is a recent addition. See <A HREF="http://zopewiki.org/WikiStats">http://zopewiki.org/WikiStats</A> .<BR>
<BR>
The active wiki at <A HREF="http://ubuntulinux.org/wiki">http://ubuntulinux.org/wiki</A> (756 pages) seems to be doing its job. It's the first zwiki installation which allows switching between the standard and plone zwiki skins (alt -, alt +). It's also the zwiki with most multilingual content.<BR>
<BR>
<A HREF="http://page.axiom-developer.org/zope/mathaction/">http://page.axiom-developer.org/zope/mathaction/</A> is another interesting wiki, with an issue tracker, full two-way mailing list integration, and LatexWiki installed. LatexWiki is Bob McElrath's product adding latex support to Zwiki.<BR>
<BR>
If all goes well, I'll be at pycon in march. :)<BR>
<BR>
That's all I can think of right now. I welcome your feedback and submissions for next month.<BR>

New issuebrowser/IssueBrowser form, preliminary built-in RSS support, bugfixes.<BR>
<BR>
<H3>
<B><FONT SIZE="4">Upgrade notes</FONT></B>
</H3>
There have been changes to the zwiki catalog fields. After upgrading, if your wikis use a catalog or are in a CMF/plone site, visit FRONTPAGE/setupCatalog, or if issue tracking is enabled, visit FRONTPAGE/setupTracker, to ensure your catalog is configured for best large-wiki performance.<BR>
<BR>
index_object's arguments have changed and the reindex_object and updateCatalog methods are deprecated.<BR>
<BR>
As noted below, free form links no longer try so hard to find old-style IssueNo issue pages, so if you have broken links of this kind, upgrade your issue page names (/upgradeAll).<BR>
