Certainly it is, John. You are truly mistaken contending that a Wiki
cannot allow development and deployment of a serious permaculture plant database.
Have you looked at Wiki's? We have talked about creating a PHP/MySQL
PC Plant DB where the SQL back end would be (might be) integrated
into the PHPWiki PC Wiki. I think this may be possible.
Yeah, that's possible. I meant that a wiki itself, without some kind
of strong DB back-end to hook into, is a poor choice for database apps.
If it isn't then the Wiki can host a
simple flat file PC Plant DB using lots of interlinked wiki pages.
We've already started on this. Maybe you'd like to contribute.
I'd like to see how you're doing it. Can't (yet ;-) envision a
powerful search/reference DB created from a bunch of interlinked wiki
pages. Is there a public URL for what's been done so far?
If this has been discussed/announced on the PCPlantDB list, then I've
somehow fallen off that list, as I've gotten no mail from it for months
and months.
I'd be up for contributing my QA/test skills. I'm not interested in
doing dev work with PHP/MySQL. Object publishing is the future... ;-)
