Hey. New board.

Sean, Adium is my favorite program. Ever. For anything. It is, in my opinion, the PERFECT instant messaging client.

Talks to AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk, Jabber, and a bunch of things that I don't even know what they are. And is very, very pretty.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Thanks, Gris. I may try Adium, but it will have to wait for a time when my bosses aren't wandering through at random intervals.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Heh -- a not very encouraging screenshot of a Windows Vista (beta) error screen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Anyone have any wiki software recs? Open source, and editable (to hack security--I want something where one can control who adds and edits, and I want to replace their security with new).

Coding and Sleeping

All this chat software talk makes me want to set my chat software for something other than work, on the downside I have no contacts to put on there other than work.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

mediawiki and Twiki are the biggies if you need that kind of access control; mediawiki can probably handle the authentication stuff better out of the box, but it's a really big installation for a wiki -- depends on your use. You might also check out [link] for feature comparisons.

(edited because I had the wrong wiki...)

What I want to do is replace the authentication, so nothing will be out of the box. If it's big, though, I probably don't want to start there.

I wasn't clear -- I actually meant to say something more like "can handle authenticating via mechanisms other than just its own internal accounts" but then I don't know the setup you have in mind. Still, yes, big: it's the thing behind wikipedia, but it scales down a lot less well than it scales massive.

(D'oh! Just now read BBaBB -- oh, that wiki question...)

And on that note, are we looking for something php/mysql based?

Oh, yeah. Conversation in two places. Sorry! Yes. PHP 4.3.10 and MySQL 3.23.58.
