Ha, I remember seeing your site :).
But that wiki is as hideious as any other.
may be you missed the fact that- pmwiki is very customizable
my skin is "triad"
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Skins/Triad
but there are many:
You know I am not even going to look at this point. I scourged many wikis at the time. I still think DokuWiki is the best. My theme is not doing because I am so bad with colours but. I will post a screenshot later.
and it's pretty easy to customize one.
Yeah but not for me. Colour-blind === troubles.
that said, imho, you have two incompatible objectives: be readable or be good looking... You know what I choosed.
That's just nonsense. That's a false dichotomy. Good looking usually implies readable.
pretty:
You call that pretty?
readables...:
Readable is usually not a difficult challenge unless you go mess with contrasts. There are basically only two ways to make something unreadable. 1. Create bad contrast with the background, or make the font too small. 2.
just for example, the opensuse.org home page is exactly what should never be done...
That's two: make everything so big you can hardly read anything. It is some kind of hype these days :(. Almost all stupid commercial sites do it. One line of text that says "WE ARE WONDERFUL" on one page, and then you have to scroll entirely to the next page on screen to read "BECAUSE WE SUCK". This Ring chat thing that was advertized on this list and on the ubuntu-devel-discuss list (that I happen to be accidentally a part of). Follows the same model. ALMOST NO INFORMATION. These days people try to draw users by KEEPING PEOPLE IN THE DARK. It all started with Dropbox (for me): https://www.dropbox.com That site basically says something like "We will make your life complete" and then "Now make an account, you turd faced fuck face. You are too stupid to understand otherwise anyway".
I once installed a wordpress instance on my server, quite pretty, but very difficult to manage, always spammed, a nightmare to move from a server to an other one... I gave up.
All spam gets blocked by akismet. Not a single spam ever gets through EVER EVER EVER EVER. I have never tried moving but.... there's not much to consider, all of it is gone, the thoughts of yesterday in spite still try to linger on. (Just a poem on my site). But I was not saying the software is outdated. I don't give a ..care about the software (it is still version 3.9.9.9.9.9.9 or so). No, the content is outdated and I cannot post anything on it that I can allow people to read.
I can make on my wiki all what I want: next to no admin work (new version have only to be written on the old one), never spammed, only one passwd for me (and no other can write on it), extremely robust...
Yeah well I am a WordPress hacker so. The only annoyance is that the mods I make get overwritten by updates :p. Becoming immune to spam is terribly easy (if you code a little). The bots don't read HTML pages. Well maybe the regular spambots do. The spambots that create accounts do not. They just hit the default links. If you slightly modify the default links, they are out of operation. I built a trap on my site, but there are few bots that actually follow it. I don't entirely understand why, but I suspect that they either: 1) spend more time revisiting than exploring sites 2) know about the structure of a wordpress site and parse the parts that they expect to find links in, instead of just parsing for all links. I have customized my site a lot (well, mostly the theme). I could even turn it into a plugin/addon :). Maybe I can even sell it :P. It would probably not have taken more than a month of work. But I never finished it yet. It is really awesome though.
gps page:
A site like yourself, I consider unreadable. The fonts are too small. I would have to increase the font size (zoom the page) but I rarely go to that length for a site. I mean the navigation mostly. Dokuwiki also has a lot of small-sized spaces by default. Small margins everywhere.
other skin, same wiki:
Oh that one looks pretty good. The best wiki theme I've seen, perhaps. Thank you, I guess.........
very customizable...
Never said it wasn't. The issue is not the techniques of customizing. The issue is usually the people that need to do it. And that need to have more right brain performance than me and most people in Linux ;-).
