A few steps closer to wiki heaven..

November 16, 2006 by Matthew

I know, I know, I promised to enlighten the masses on Monday, but we simply couldn't sit on our hands long enough to finalize some features and make this list.. until now!

Alas, here's a taste of some new things that have been deployed as of the past few weeks:

  • Publicly share pages from private wikis (beta only for now, you lucky testers you!)
  • Dynamic Table of Contents generator added as an option.
  • Comments can once again be added to author invitations (back by popular demand!)
  • Comments can be enabled on a page rather than within the separate discuss section (check your wiki configuration screen)
  • Question marks are now allowed as page names.
  • More AJAX goodness in showing page changes.

And while the rest of the world fights off the sniffles (a Canadian winter is not something to look forward to, trust me) we're trying to fight off little bugs that show their annoying heads here and there. Here's a run down of what we've taken the Raid can to over the past few weeks:

  • Further domain mapping transparency.
  • Exporting is now playing nicer in downloaded files.
  • Handy searching fixed under classic template.
  • Fixed the 'cancel' link when editing a mobile template.

Splat! Feels good, doesn't it? We're up to much more behind the scenes and hope to be able to share it soon. And, if you're looking to try out some new features available exclusively to beta users, feel free to drop us an e-mail (feedback at the stikipad dots com)!

Stay tuned!

Sunday is a day of rest.. and new features.

November 12, 2006 by Matthew

In case you haven't noticed, our features page has been getting more and more additions as the months roll on. But no worries, we'll simply have to redesign that page as there's still more in the works.

Google Maps
Got a Google API key? Got a StikiPad? Perfect! After all, it's a match made in wiki heaven! Adding a map to your StikiPad works almost like linking to a page.

[[1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC, 20500:address]] Displays a map for the specified address at the default map size.

[[1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC, 20500@300x580]]
Displays a map similar to the one above, but at a size of 300 by 580 pixels.

Just remember, you'll need to input your Google Maps API key in the Configuration section of your StikiPad. It's under the Google Maps section (imagine that)!

More information on some other new features tomorrow..

Gallery: Next NY

November 1, 2006 by Matthew

We're always amazed at what our users have done with their StikiPad, and we're quite certain it's time to recognize some blood, sweat and (hopefully not too many) tears.

The first of many sites we'll be showcasing is Next NY, a group that has built their entire site around their wiki. Based out of New York City, Next NY is "a fun way to connect both socially and professionally with young people who have a stake in future of tech and new media."

And, with over 19 pages of authors, we're pretty sure its one of the biggest StikiPad's we've seen (though, of course, we won't mind if that number is to be beat)!

Awesome work, guys and gals.
