Symphonious

So Scoble's looking for a wiki, seems to have gotten a few popular suggestions. Since he wants it hosted I can't really offer anything - I don't have the server space or sysadmin knowledge to handle something of Scoble's popularity. Despite that, can I recommend that you make the quality of the editor your most important criteria? It will make a huge difference to the adoption rate of the wiki. I've discussed this before: Wiki Syntax Considered Harmful and Making Wikis Work.

Of course if for some reason you wind up hosting your own wiki or otherwise have access to the back end, I'm sure I could arrange for Ephox to donate a license to a really good WYSIWYG editor. I can donate my spare time to integrate it into whatever wiki you were looking at. In any case, I'd love to hear what you wound up going with.

NetNewsWire's tabs have overflowed into that stupid little these-didn't-fit menu because I haven't had enough time to investigate all the things that I wanted to. Time to blog them and move on until they become a higher priority.

• Solr
  • An opensource Google appliance sort of thing. Looks like a simple way to add search to an application to me - just hook it up to fire events over to Solr and use it to catalogue and search. Seems to provide more power than what I get around to leveraging out of Lucene myself.
• Commons Finder
  • Need to find files from Java - this should be useful. Not sure what I had in mind that it would be useful for but one day I'll need it for sure.
• Plagger
  • Does stuff with RSS and Atom - not really sure what yet. It originally sounded like a kind of base RSS platform to leverage. Sounds a bit like Abdera plus more but could be completely different. No idea really.
• activeCollab
  • Not sure why I'd need this right now and seems to have a fair way to go, but interesting none the less.

The rest is stuff I need to read or respond to, but this should be enough to get the tabs visible again.
