# Wiki-Server

Federated wiki node.js server as a npm module.

**N.B.** Following a code re-organization over the New Year 2013/4 this

repository now only contains the code for the node.js server implementation.

You will also notice that the GitHub reposistory name and location has

changed, it is now fedwiki/wiki-server. It you have previously forked,

and cloned, this repository you will want to update your clone's upstream

remote to reflect this change.

This package is now published as ```wiki-server```. The ```wiki```

package which depends on this package, to provide the federated wiki server,

can be found as [fedwiki/wiki](https://github.com/fedwiki/wiki).

## Goals

Over its first two years the Smallest Federated Wiki (SFW) project explored

many ways that a wiki could embrace HTML5 and related technologies. Here

we will cautiously reorganize this work as small independent modules that

favor ongoing innovation.

We proceed by dividing SFW first into large pieces and then these into

smaller pieces as we simplify and regularize the communications between them.

We now favor the node.js module and event conventions, dependency injection,

and increased separation between the DOM and the logic that manages it.

Federated wiki's single-page application reads page content from many sources

and writes updates to a few. Read-write server backends are maintained in

ruby (sinatra) and node (express). Read-only servers have been realized

with static files and cgi scripts. Encouraging experiments have exploited

exotic service architectures such as CCNx content-addressable networks.

## Participation

We're happy to take issues or pull requests regarding the goals and

their implementation within this code.

A wider-ranging conversation is documented in the GitHub ReadMe of the

founding project, [SFW](https://github.com/WardCunningham/Smallest-Federated-Wiki/blob/master/ReadMe.md).
