A multi-engine wiki-hive needs a server
MattisManzel: What server to get for the project? What extraordinary features should such a server have to allow many different engines to run on it in hive-mode? Many technical questions to discuss and agree on.
MattisManzel: Sure, but for a couple of hundred it takes some time. The idea is rather on gathering different wiki development-lines in a common project. It’s a bit about the beauty of the outwards face of wiki to the big big non-wiki world. It says choose, you are free to. Like every wiki does when you click edit.
Practically, if someone comes along with a new wiki you can be sure about it will have 300 pages next week, I’d say, rush over to wikicities immediately, sure. Maybe supply a possibility to migrate to wikicities (or to a hive running the respective engine only, a mono-engine wiki-hive
) when a certain size is reached. Partly this multi-engine wiki-hive could serve as an experimental forefield for wikicities. But only partly.
Maybe you could even spare one of the 20 servers for this so I don’t have to buy it?
MattisManzel: Which takes us rightaway into hive-folks.
