D1.3: Manual of the Extended Wiki System (dr_wiki)
Executive Summary
In today’s digital world, Wikis (information systems that allow users to very easily create, edit, and link Web pages) have proven to be very successful means of exchanging information. They are widely used for all kinds of information, which range from general encyclopaedias to topical Wikis. Some of these Wiki projects have become very successful and evolved into widely used information pools (e.g. Wikipedia). The use of Wikis has therefore been adopted into the FIDIS project to facilitate the management, the authoring and the diffusion of knowledge related to the domain of “Identity”.
The term Wiki also refers to the collaborative software (Wiki engine) used to create such information collections. In essence, the Wiki as a software system is a vast simplification of the process of creating HTML pages, and thus is a very effective way to exchange information through collaborative effort.
This document describes the technical aspects (e.g. the features, general development notes, the user manual and so on) of the Wiki implementation used for the FIDIS project. The software itself is based on the Typo3 extension framework. The resulting custom Typo3 extension is called “DR_Wiki” and is published under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL). Currently there are about 2000 installations of this extension available on the Internet.
