Re: Upload large files

I guess your web browser has a timeout. it uploads the file but fails  
to receive data during that time as the file is processed by the  
upload servlet.

State of Development

Hi everyone ,

I just installed snipsnap and want to use it as a personal "keep and
manage" tool for notes, ideas, tutorials etc.
I have some ideas for further dev (like latex export, some macros,
syntax extensions) but after looking at snipsnap.org and radeox.org I
am beginning to doubt that this project is still alive.

So my question: Is there continuous development of snipsnap and
radeox? Can one expect that an active community will share themes,
macros , discuss directions and so on?
I dont want to store all my information in a dead system and migrate
in a few month.

Thanks
Jan

I think the problem is that snipsnap has never really geared up to 
working with external collaborators: whatever source-code 
reorganisations are required to make this possible just don't appear to 
have happened.

The above statement may not be true: however it reflects my perception 
as a developer who would be interested in getting involved with the 
project. I think that perception needs addressing as the top priority if 
snipsnap is to gain any momentum.

sadly, jan is right. there's a solid collection of themes, macros, and
knowledge about using and running snipsnap, but the community seems to be on
life support at best.

i've considered migrating a few times, but there aren't any killer bugs or
missing features (for me) that have made it worth the migration headache.
still, if you're starting from scratch, i can't recommend snipsnap in good
conscience when movabletype, wordpress, twiki, etc. are so much more active
and supported.

on a related note, here's a quick list i put together when i first looked
around for alternatives to snipsnap:

Re: State of Development

Hi all,

if you want to meet the developers of SnipSnap, you can do so at this 
year's Wiki Symposium, see

http://www.wikisym.org/ws2006/

(Please note: Early registration deadline June 19 approaching!)

I'm bringing this up because WikiSym is the place where we might make 
a standardized wiki markup and a standardized data interchange format happen.

Re: State of Development

So, Matthias and Stephan are obviously quite busy. (So busy, they 
didn't even advertise the Wiki Symposium here, which they are helping.)

I'm curious to ask the community on this list. Should these two guys 
go out and find a corporate sponsor that employs them fulltime to 
work on SnipSnap (or something like it)?

What would that mean for a license change? Away from GPL (for 
SnipSnap) towards what? What would you like to see to make SnipSnap a 
successful OSS project the way you like it.

Thanks,
Dirk

Re: State of Development

Hello,

actually, we still develop on SnipSnap and try to find the best way  
to handle the project in future. Our difficulty is that most projects  
we have to work for at the moment do not involve SnipSnap. The idea  
Dirk has would help alot either keeps us working full-time at the  
project. We have different directions possible, ranging from plain  
team communication to knowledge management.

What we offer right now is that interested parties can help  
development by taking over certain modules of SnipSnap. We are in the  
process of extracting modules, like the storage backend (for  
different dbs etc.), some of the macro packages and one of the big  
issues is the web frontend which must move to a better framework.

Leo.

The reason for the Radeox page not beeing updates has been answered  
by Stephan before. Radeox is feature-complete from our point of view.  
It is customizable, modular and already used in many projects. Might  
be a good idea to state that on the website.
