Talk:Ikiwiki

Linux
Note that nothing in ikiwki's design requires linux; people use it in Mac OS X and for all I know, it might work in windows.

Notability
I consider the software to be quite notable, if a bit new. (This article is in no way linkspam or an advertisement, but informational in nature. Still, I understand that that might be a concern.)  There are a number of users who have bothered to list themselves  and it has been discussed on Linux World  and Slashdot. Others will need to chime in with their thoughts on notability, but I think the software is notable. I don't have time to go through the notability guidelines, but I think we should keep this article around and flesh it out. Isoxyl 15:07, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

FWIW, slashdot has never actually mentioned ikiwiki as far as I know. Various ikiwiki-based websites have been on slashdot. --Joey_Hess

Article restored
Since this article was speedily deleted, I decided to speedily restore it. Notice that it is now 1 year and 1 month later and I believe ikiwiki now has more notability. I will list evidence here below and then edit the article. -- Sverdrup (talk) 18:04, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Notability (2008)
Ikiwiki is now more widespread. It is in current debian stable and it is fairly frequently updated in debian testing. . It has in the fall of 2007 and winter 2008 recieved two Secunia advisories, which means it was reviewed by independent software security companies.. It has widespread use in the Bliki (blog-wiki convergence) capability in the debian community. -- Sverdrup (talk) 18:09, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

For what it's worth, having a Secunia advisory just means that someone (in this case, me and a contributor) noticed security holes, and that we did the right thing to get a CVE entry. I don't have any reason to think that Secunia has reviewed ikiwiki --Joey_Hess

Comparison with gitit
How does ikiwiki compare with gitit, which is mentioned in the See-also section?--Imz (talk) 16:07, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
