Last edit September 3, 2003
DimiterKurtev has been using emacs for over 15 years. He still doesn't get it.

He speaks fluent Smalltalk, C, C++ and Java. He has also been known to code PL/I, amongst others.

Dimiter is currently having difficulty convincing his colleagues to use a Wiki. He has hacked AwkiAwki quite a bit. He started off with the BruceHendersons version from http://81.86.193.194/cgi-bin/awki.cgi/CurrentDevelopment as of beginning of February 2003. His changes include:
  • no need for tabs for creating lists (MSIE6 can't do tabs in forms)
  • # instead of 1 for numbered lists
  • list levels are defined by the number of *s or #s
  • possibility to name external links, syntax is [WikiName]url
  • bold text is declared with underscores, i.e. __this is bold__
  • checksum checks of edited text to avoid concurrent editing
  • WikiNames are only links when in square brackets [] - very useful if trying to document code which uses a lot of CamelCase
  • number of rows in the form is configurable
  • edit form uses the whole width of the browser
  • possibility to edit previous versions (i think this is possible in OliverTonnhofers code, but not in BruceHendersons version)
  • ability to delete pages by changing the text to "delete" - does not delete the file in RCS (i.e. old revisions remain in the archive and may be resurrected by an admin)
  • changes the RCS checkin user to the logged-in user on windows machines (by using nmblookup) - this info is also displayed on the info page

He has also written a simple script to generate a site map for TouchGraph on-the-fly (the output gets cached as well).

AwkiAwki rocks!


Hi Dimi! Even the internet is small nowadays. How are you? Greetings, DavidSchmitt
