History

Should we have a section on the history of the Bliki engine Agupta27? I think a couple of short sentences about how it was developed would be useful. Jesankar ncsu (talk) 01:43, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't much information available about Bliki's history on the Web, I am not sure we should cover it as a separate section. I think one or two lines in the introduction itself can cover it, unless we come across some sources with more info. Agupta27 (talk) 04:50, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Added a sentence on commit history. The Bitbucket commit history only goes back to 2014 but I found another reference which lists commits going back to 2006. Both references have commits that aren't present in the other, so I've included them both. Jesankar ncsu (talk) 02:41, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Should we include information like author name and first version of Bliki and when it was officially released? Agupta27 (talk) 05:01, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - This has since been added, correct? Jesankar ncsu (talk) 02:26, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - Information about first version was added.Agupta27 (talk) 04:11, 12 February 2016 (UTC).[reply]
      - Some of the comments did call for putting history information in separate history section. I guess we should do it even though it may be short. 04:14, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
        Separated the history content in the introduction into a seperate history section Agupta27 (talk) 00:24, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Code Samples

I think we should have a section where we give some code snippets for using the engine. What do you think Agupta27? Jesankar ncsu (talk) 01:43, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we should have code section explaining basic use cases and features of wiki. Agupta27 (talk) 05:05, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've added some code snippets for converting between Mediawiki code and HTML. Jesankar ncsu (talk) 02:38, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Looks good. We can cover more cases like WikiMedia syntax to Plaintext, Use of WikiMedia to parse wiki data and save in derby database etc. Agupta27 (talk) 05:05, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Wiki to plain-text had been added. Some more code usages could be covered. Agupta27 (talk) 04:16, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - Added section on parsing MediaWiki XML dump files. Agupta27 (talk) 00:24, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Installation instructions

Based on feedback, I think we need to include a subsection for basic installation instructions. I think installation can be done either from a ZIP or through Maven. Jesankar ncsu (talk) 02:39, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I will add that section. Agupta27 (talk) 04:06, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Added the installation section. Check once for any mistakes. Agupta27 (talk) 20:55, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Features

I've added a list of Bliki engine features. Jesankar ncsu (talk) 02:25, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments indicated that we may need to provide more information in the features section. Agupta27 (talk) 04:08, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- What exactly should be added here? Usually a list of features is quite short, maybe with a couple of sentences of explanation for each feature, which we already have. Jesankar ncsu (talk) 20:52, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Added package information to be used for various features. Also made the headers small for readability as one of the comments had also suggested. Agupta27 (talk) 20:57, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template

I think we should add the software template since it appears on other pages for software libraries. Jesankar ncsu (talk) 02:43, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we need to add that. All the reviews I did had template in their wiki page. Agupta27 (talk) 04:09, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I've added a template which as much reliable information as I could find. Jesankar ncsu (talk) 20:52, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Modified to reflect the name of author instead of his id. I am still confused about first version of library. Sticking to 3.0.1 for now — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agupta27 (talk • contribs) 20:58, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We can provide links to other alternate tools. Agupta27 (talk) 04:22, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I added some links to alternate tools. There is a huge list of parsers but I tried to stick to similar tools. Jesankar ncsu (talk) 20:52, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
