Having looked around for wiki software that makes sense as a personal wiki on Windows, he's downloaded UseModWiki 1.04. (Is there a branch or clone of it that's been refactored into modules, so as to make it more suitable as a test-bed for experimenting with various usability ideas, without breaking parts of it that already work plenty reliably?).

Hello there Clay, welcome back to the world of wiki. I don't know the answer to your specific question. -- AaronPoeze

Hello Clay, welcome to Meatball. OddMuse, a UseModWiki fork, has most non-essential stuff moved to modules. There're also lots of more functionality in additional modules. If you use usemod as base feel free to post steps or results of your experiments in the usemod wiki. If you have questions about the script, I hopefully may answer them. -- MarkusLude

I'm back after almost a year, and I'm pleased to see that some folks have offered some useful information.

OddMuse does indeed look worth some time to evaluate. I hope it modularized, e.g., its file-access. Given modest performance constraints, I concur with UseModWiki's & OddMuse's approach of just using the server's file system for wiki content. By contrast, the newish blog/content manager "ModX?", which seems appealing, depends completely on MySQL?, making me worry a lot about recovering content if something goes wrong. I seem to recall that MySQL? has hard limits on field-length, so I assume "ModX?" must do a lot of internal chaining of content text.

Alas, There appears to be a serious bug here on MeatballWiki with its apparently horribly flawed comment-submission authentication code. I have an unreliable Internet connection, and when it does work, I cannot afford to waste precious on-line time with the de facto infinite authentication loop I somehow provoked here. It has used up--and wasted--nearly all the time I could reasonably devote to wikis today. I've now worked around this extremely infuriating problem by directly editing these 3 paragraphs into this page, and posting my technical comments on my corresponding page on UseModWiki: [ClayPhipps]. -- ClayPhipps
