Blogging RollerDave Johnson on blogging, open source and JavaJSPWiki vs. XWiki- June 25, 2008 via Jim Grisanzio: Chris Phelan has done evaluations of JSPWiki and XWiki for use on the OpenSolaris.org site. Based on his 32 requirements, XWiki came out on top. On balance, XWiki wins by virtue of having better support for management, searching, page taxonomies, virtual servers, content export and language translationlocalization support. JSPWiki has slightly better support for identifying orphaned pages and accesskey support (XWiki 1.4 will have support for access keys). Confluence was.http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/jspwiki_vs_xwiki Latest Links - OpenSocial and FriendConnect- June 24, 2008 I'm still working through my backlog of Latest Links posts. First up, the OpenSocial links. I'm following OpenSocial closely because OpenSocial support is one of the key features of the new project I'm working on (Project SocialSite). There were a bunch of OpenSocial related sessions at Google's IO conference and they're all online. I especially like this one, OpenSocial: A Standard for the Social Web, which includes Google's Pat Chanezon discussing Project SocialSite, starting at 43:07 and...http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/latest_links_opensocial Links - AFK edition- June 20, 2008 Here's another link blog post. In this one I'll explain why my del.icio.us feed is full of guitar tabs. I've been spending some time Away From Keyboard and near to fretboard. Since my 11 year old son Alex is learning guitar I've been doing the same and making some good progress. I've noodled around on bass for years, but never spent much time with guitar. I've always known the basic chords, but that's about it. Now I've finally learned how to string and "sing" at the same time and so I've been..http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/latest_links_afk_edition Latest Links - misc- June 17, 2008 It's time to catch up on blogging and I'm going to start by going through my backlog of links and adding some commentary, but not in this post; these are miscellaneous links that don't fit nicely into my other posts.

I'm really sorry I missed it at JavaOne. What's particularly interesting to me are the diagrams that explain how the LinkedIn architecture has evolved to scale up to 22 million users.

We put out the call for sponsors a couple of weeks ago and thanks to some generous sponsors including iContact, Canonical, rPath, Brian Russell, OpenNMS and Montie Design we quickly met 65% of our small budget. Now we need to wrap things up, money-wise. If you'd like to get some great positive exposure among the best and brightest in..http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/sponsor_barcamp_rdu_2008 |
