FAQ

Q. I found a bug. Where should I log it?

A. You can log issues here. Please do us a favor and search before creating a new ticket to reduce duplicate overhead.

Q. What can I expect in the future?

A. Tons of things! Here is a sneak peak of the roadmap.

• Page versioning via git
• Custom page templates
• Custom css themes
• Enhanced document content types
• Embedded table of contents
• Internal autocomplete links
• Other storage mechanisms (considering database here)

Development

Fork and clone the source locally

• fork and clone the source
• git clone forked_simple-wiki
• Install depencies
• npm install && bower install
• Get going!
• grunt serve

Integrate as a third party user

• Create sandbox project
  • mkdir simple-wiki-sandbox && cd $_
• Create init node_modules.
  • mkdir node_modules
• Create the server file to start simple-wiki.
  • touch app.js. The contents of this file should look similar to the usage instructions above.
• Link the sandbox to our source code.
  • ln -sf ../simple-wiki node_modules

This will connect a development instance of simple-wiki to a user's production product. Because this is being connected via a node_module require it will also internally user the dist/ of simple-wiki. This means that any change you make to the simple-wiki source will require a grunt build to see it in the sandbox area.
