    I’ve done some more looking around and found the following:

    http://www.opengarden.org/dekiwiki
    http://www.viawiki.com/

    Does anyone have any knowledge or feedback on these?

    Maybe it’s a moot point by now based on the @zi comment below. Could someone please tell the community whether we should be offering suggestions for an interim solution to the "documentation conundrum"? I for one am getting mixed signals and have no interest in researching potential wiki solutions if "something" is in the works.

    Actually its in plans, but for now 0.9.5 is a highest priority smiley, however you can post your suggestions about wiki softwares in modxcms.com Discussions and Suggestions.

    Thanks.

    I was thinking about this for awhile... when I first found MODx I thought it was really cool (I STILL do! laugh ) but I had no clue on where to start. I wasn’t sure if I was overlooking something, and when it came time to create a custum module, I couldn’t find any "guidelines" to making them so I more or less just started coding. I’m still somewhat a newb at MODx. tongue

    Anyways, instead of having the developers add forum posts to the documentation "sometime" later, why not get a Wiki going? That way people can add tips and guides themselves, and it’ll be easier to update documents later. The nthere’s no need to sift through posts that have nothing to do with your question. smiley

    eagleshout and ed,
    Which wiki do you suggest we use? It’s been covered elsewhere, but I’d be curious as to which one you find optimal. Sorry that we contributed to your frustration and I look forward to your contributions.

    I don’t know that I’m the best candidate for recommending a wiki that would adequately complement ModX, but I do like what PBWiki is doing with their product recently. Most notable is the support of API’s and the following:

    Wikilets
    You can embed a wiki page in a web page pretty easily, using either an IFRAME or inline-Javascript technique . . .

    Other recent news includes tagging support:

    The drawback here is the subscription price for a large user base (up to $34.95/mo.) I’m sure there are open source wiki’s out there that support API’s and/or the ability to pull data from the wiki into another web page. How cool would it be to have an up-to-date ModX wiki that could be accessed within the ModX manager or anywhere else on the site?!?!?

    Although, I see this discussion has been active in the past, I will try to find a better forum post to keep this discussion going. I don’t want to add confusion to this post, just reponding thrash.
