The Extreme Dynamics Wiki
This Wiki is the communication platform for members of the Extreme Dynamics initiative founded in summer 2006 to enhance the ProgressDynamics Framework from ProgressSoftware.
This Wiki is maintained by MikeFechner. Please don't hesitate to contact him regarding questions on how to use this Website.
The Wiki is based on the MoinMoin Wiki Engine. Beginners should look at HelpForBeginners and HelpOnPageCreation.
This Wiki uses ACLs (HelpOnAccessControlLists) to protect pages.
Users that wish to edit content of this website and get access to internal pages of the Extreme Dynamics group can request to become members of the ExtremeDynamicsGroup by sending an email to MikeFechner.
New users can create a user account on this website by opening the UserPreferences page. Please choose a user name matching a WikiName (like FirstnameLastname). You should then introduce yourself under a page with that WikiName.
Using names in the form of a WikiName makes linking between pages much easier as the wiki engine creates links on the fly.
Some hints on using the wiki
ACL
The wiki is configured to use ACL (HelpOnAccessControlLists) to protect pages. By default all pages are private to members of the ExtremeDynamicsGroup. You don't need to change anything if that's o.k. with your page. I guess the default will fit most pages in this wiki as the this wiki is targetted for a closed user group.
If you'd like to change the ACL for a particular page (i.e. your personal home page) add an ACL command in the beginning of the page, i.e.
#acl All:read
Tracking changes
The wiki engine offers various ways of tracking changes:
RecentChanges is a wiki page containing all recent changes. There is a quick link on the top left page of your browser page. The Info (i) Button opens the revision history of that page also enabling you to compare revisions of pages.
Email notification can be set up using the user preferences dialog (at the very top of your browser page) using the Subscribed wiki pages text box. This text box contains a list of pages you'd like to subscribe to. As this list is parsed using RegEx Expression ".*" subscribes to all changes in the wiki.
- Individual page subscribtions can be maintained using the Subscribe/Unsubscribe options on the top of every page.
Searching
As this wiki will hopefully grow to an immense amount of information searching becomes more and more important.
The wiki offers two simple search options using the search form at the top right part of your browser window. Text entered in the search form will be used to either search on page names (Titles) or full text (Text).
Additional information on searching can be found at HelpOnSearching.
Personal homepages
Personal homepages are the pages with the same name as your username. That's why you should use a WikiName for your username. Please give us some information about who you are and possibly how you might contribute to the group on that page.
If you'd like to open this page for everybody, add the following ACL at the top of your pages source code.
#acl All:read
