Regarding Gobi

Jürg Lehni has written about some frustrations with Gobi, wich is the Helma app used to run this site. In response, I have started fixing some of the things Jürg complained about:

  • Set the font size to 13px (no font-size was defined previously).
  • Implemented an RSS 2.0 feed for updates to the whole site (see orange button to the right)
  • Allowed for external URLs in wiki links, and implemented asterisk escaping.
  • Fixed some other problems with wiki links.

BTW, you can already get an RSS feed of the changes to one single Gobi page using the history.rss action (click on the history tab and then on the orange button in the upper right corner).

I know Gobi isn't exactly 1.0 yet, but I do hope it will soon become enjoyable to use for everybody. Keep the feedback, comments, patches coming!
