Development of a new indexer

Dienstag, Februar 5th, 2008

Guess what: Since a couple of hours I’m a proud owner of an iPhone. Look on eBay if you need an iPod Touch/16GB.

As my model has only 8GB (the new 16GB iPhone are released today) I will enhance the indexer. It will also repackage the data files so that these should be a lot smaller. And further I hope to have everything in one data file. Copying thousands of files is not very comfortable.

This time this will be one independent program: Splitting (if necessary at all), repackaging, indexing. Maybe downloading the source. And from the start for Mac OS X and Windows.

Stay tuned.

The source code of the Wiki-Server application

Sonntag, Februar 3rd, 2008

First of all: I don’t have a problem releasing the source of the Wiki-Server application.

But that has to be done the right way: Opening a project on Google-Code or SourceForge. Why? To get a rcs repository so that more people can work together on the application.

Until today I only had one contact of a guy who would like to lend a hand and help in developing. After I’ve send him the codes I’ve never heard again from him. Hmm.

So unless there is no interest in participating in the project I will save the time setting up the project and releasing the sources.

Wiki-Server in the news (iPhone Ticker)

Last week a friend of mine told me that there is an article on the German iPhone Ticker website. It compares some Offline Wikipedia Applications for the iPhone/iPod touch.

Here is the link:
