Just started using Instiki, great tool! I have a question about revisioning though - it looks like it is only keep track of revisions on a per session basis. Is this the intention? I''m not sure this is a bad thing or not yet. -John

Often a nice feature, but sometimes not. I''m not sure if the mechanism is session based, or based on the time gone by since the previous revision. Maybe both. Meindert Meindertsma.
it''s based on the amount of time past since the last edit. which is nice since there''s no preview. usually how i know when i''m done making changes is when i stop making changes. it also kicks off a new revision when a different user makes an edit, so if you want to force one you can just change your name.

Thanks Derek and Meidert for your response, that helps a lot. I guess I will have to dig deeper in the code to find out exactly what criteria (how much time must pass, etc...) are used to specify a revision or an update. One other question - has anyone done any work customizing Instiki for ontologies? I''m looking for a nice way to implement a directed acyclic graph and I was wondering if anybody had a modified version of Instiki. Perhaps extending the wiki_references structure beyond the internal wiki and adding just references to a more general type of relationship. -John Derek Gulbranson wrote:> it''s based on the amount of time past since the last edit. which is > nice since there''s no preview. usually how i know when i''m done > making changes is when i stop making changes. > > it also kicks off a new revision when a different user makes an edit, > so if you want to force one you can just change your name. > > On Aug 8, 2006, at 3:51 PM, Meindert Meindertsma wrote: > > >> Quoting John Osborne <j-osborne at northwestern.edu>: >> >> >>> Just started using Instiki, great tool! >>> >>> I have a question about revisioning though - it looks like it is only >>> keep track of revisions on a per session basis.
