SWI-Prolog Wiki facilities

The underlying datastructure of this website consists mostly of PlDoc Wiki documentation pages. Since Mar 2, 2011, these pages can be edited through a web-interface. Editing is still quite immature. This page describes the process.

First of all, you need an account. You can get this by sending a mail to Jan Wielemaker. Please provide

1. The desired account-name
2. A Unix/apache hash of your password
3. Your real-name
4. The E-mail you want to appear on the git log messages

With an account, click the button to open the page in edit-mode. Make your changes, add a commit summary message and optionally a more extensive comment. Please respect the wiki notation.

To create a new file, reference a .txt file and click the created link. The link colors red and becomes underlined if the pointer is positioned on the link.

To be done

- Make a form to apply for an account

- Provide a preview mode

- Detect possible edit conflicts and resolve them

- Allow ammending a recent commit

- Allow attaching a file and updating an attached file

- Allow creating directories
