My mistake... I updated the WikiWikiWeb topic..





>Also, John, none of the changes to WardCunningham you allude to are present in the fox wiki. In fact, that page was last updated on April 26 2000 and last edited without updating RecentChanges on May 29, 2001.

>>Hi Cindy..

>>I am sure there are a myriad of things that can go wrong. Deleting topics as part of a re-factoring process makes sense. Performing a search, one can find the info posted. The info has been assimilated, coalesced, integrated, etc into the body of material as a whole. In this case, the topics were deleted without the contained info having been re-factored into another page.
>>
>>I did not re-created FreeWikis or TheWikiWay. Rather, I added the info about the book to WardCunningham's page.
>>
>>Whether it was deliberate or was a fluke of the network; I do not know. As far as I am concerned, the issue is moot.

>>In any case, I do appreciate you clarifying the role of housekeeping.

>>>Things can also mysteriously disappear because of network (internet) or hardware failure. Sometimes restores from backups will lose changes. Specific deletion of topics because someone didn't like them is not the only possible explanation here.

>>>I personally have deleted topics and moved their content to a different name or combined it with another page. I have not done any of that recently though.
>>>
>>>I have moved your OpenWiki topic to the Wiki namespace. I do not see FreeWikis or TheWikiWay. If you have just reposted them, something really mysterious is going on.

>>>>No veiled innuendo here. I posted several topics including FreeWikis and TheWikiWay. In the FreeWikis page, I posted a link to OpenWiki. Within 24 hours, those topics were gone. TheWikiWay had info on Ward Cunningham's new book - which also included a free wiki. There is at least 1 person I know of who can verify the topics were there.

>>>>>>I posted these items on the wiki yesterday and they mysteriously disappeared? I figured that would have been the better place since those who visit the wiki would be more inclined to use a personal wiki. I guess the limits of what one can post on the Fox wiki are a bit more narrow than I orignally had thought...< s >... FWIW, the openwiki has about a 10th. of the features the Fox wiki has. At the same time, openwiki has more features than Ward's wiki at http://c2.com/cgi/wiki. Simply put, it was not my intention to offend anybody. Rather, I was simply letting the community know about a resource that is available to all..
