as part of getting OpenGuides used in local government, I've added a file attachment feature. Currently only supported by the CGI::Wiki::Store::Pg backend though, as i'm not familiar with BLOBs in MySQL or SQLLite.
Shiny. What are you using it for?
The wiki: simplified self-published & content management/revision control. There's a council-wide CMS as well, but it's so slow, clunky and generally crap that people wanted an alternative for manageing lots of related pages of information. Metadata about opening hours and locations isn't used, but instead categories like "Freedom of information", "data protection" and so forth have sprung up.
The file upload feature: Sometimes scanned documents, photos, word documents or PDFs need to be attached for some reason or other, and aren't suitable to be cut-and-pasted.
Would you be interested in merging this feature into the main tree?
Yes.
Cool. Would you prefer me to send a patch against the .30 tree, or should i commit to a fresh branch of CVS comewhere?
I have not been well for a little while and am currently off work sick. So not much is getting done at the moment.
Hope you get well soon,
Toby
