Hi again!

Thanks for the help. I’ve now tentatively released the work-in-progress of my Creole conversion class. It’s available at http://bytenoise.co.uk/creole.txt to anyone who’s interested in using it.

It’s very basic at the moment, not implementing the whole spec, but it’s a start. I’ve released it under the AGPL — I hadn’t realised such a license exited until you pointed it out to me, so thanks for that information too!

Zoe.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply! That’s OK about the development, I was going to write my own code anyway (I need it to run in PHP, not Java). It’s just nice to know there are existing standards for the formats themselves that I can work with.

If I get my code working, I’ll be sure to publicly release it under a similarly liberal license.

Thanks again,
Zoe.

Hi Zoe,

files are licensed under the AGPL, as shown on SourceForge. Unfortunately, this particular code base is not under active development at present; I do hope to restart it though under a new umbrella, my new job, that is http://osr.cs.fau.de

Cheers,
Dirk

Hi!

This looks like a fantastic format. I’m starting to get into Creole as the closest I can find to a standard Wiki format, and an XML version of it is a great idea. I just wish I’d thought to look for them before wasting time making up my own lesser formats first.

I can’t seem to find a license for this XML format. Is it freely available for anyone to use, or do you intend to license it out?

Thanks,
Zoe.

Hi Dave,
the code is located at http://wikicreole.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wikicreole/XmlCreator/. Just check out the project from VCS (it’s CVS).

Cheers, Martin

There appears to be no files at sourceforge site for this?

Did it ever get off the ground?

TIA DaveP

Hi Rodrigo, Martin Junghans made his implementations available but I’m not sure right now where. Maybe you can ask him directly? –Dirk

Hi Dirk, I’m working on a MediaWiki to TikiWiki importer as part of my Google Summer of Code 2009 project (http://dev.tikiwiki.org/gsoc2009rodrigo). I plan to use PEAR::Text_Wiki which might help in conversions between TikiWiki and Wiki Creole as there is a recent PEAR::Text_Wiki_Creole package.

I have interest in the XML Interchange Format but I don’t I will be able to implement support for this format both for TikiWiki and for MediaWiki in this project unfortunately.

I’m writing because I would like to know the status of the project and if there are some working implementations of it. Thanks, Rodrigo.
