Stealing back your best ideas
Although it looks like they don’t really do customization of the overall look of the page, plus they put script in the wiki pages, which always kinda gives me a rash. I mean, I guess they have some means of keeping non-admin users from accidentally hacking the script out, or they’re aimed at intranets and they don’t care. Also they seem to cost money.
From the beginning I have been aiming Cornucopt’s app-building features with the target of admins, not users, in mind. That is, the idea has always been that the human who sets up the server will know enough PHP to hurt himself set up the ways in which information will flow, and then other users will work within that. Maybe JotSpot’s approach is better, if they have a user-perms model that’s clean and easy. We shall see.
