Re: [ba-ohs-talk] TouchGraph used on Langreiter.com
Alex,
I am hoping the next release will include the topic maps stuff you and
Murray Altheim are working on. Is your new code reflected in the cvs now? (01)
There is a nifty Java wiki (BSD license) at
http://www.pastiche.org/wiki/RewritingWiki (as I type this, the site won't
open). It downloads as a .war file (just drop that into Tomcat and away
you go). Unzip the .war file and the source code is there. It's about 65k
download. I think this would be pretty easy to 1) adapt to a database, and
2) add TG. (02)
Cheers
Jack (03)
