2000-12-21: Tentative revision -- added section "Extendability'' (better word?) -- see
WikiEngineReviewTemplateAnnotated (soon)
Template
This can be copied and renamed to create a review page for a different WikiEngine.
General Notes
Adding Attributes
Please use the same attributes and the same sequence of attributes in each review. If you add an attribute to one review, please consider adding it at the same location in each review, the WikiEngineReviewTemplate and the WikiEngineReviewTemplateAnnotated.
Reviews of New Releases
Please maintain separate reviews for each version of each WikiEngine. The intent is to maintain reviews of old versions of software that might still be in use on a WikiFarm or on a specific WikiForum. See WikiEngineReviewNewRelease for the recommended approach.
Notes
See
WikiEngineReview,
WikiEngineReviewNotes, and
WikiEngineReviewTemplateAnnotated for notes and discussion about these reviews and wikis in general.
