Topics

Subscribers

mmmm..spamilicious

Question

Is there a difference between the newsletter and the RSS feed? --JasonDossett

Answer

The newsletter is limited to the topics listed here, and further includes the body of the page. The RSS feed shows the whole namespace, and includes only a link. -- CraigAndera

Question

I just realized that since ReleaseNotes1515 I no longer get this newsletter. Anyone else have this problem?

Answer

Newsletters have some bad bugs at the moment. They can, on some systems, result in 100% CPU utilization. DavidOrnstein probably turned them off. -- CraigAndera [2004-08-01]

Question

Looks like the email addresses are way easy for spiders to crawl and start sending garbage

. They should be rendered with javascript to avoid that. --Daniel Cazzulino

Comment

Agree that this is a problem. I think a better answer is for FlexWiki to not try to be a list server, but instead to have h once we have the SourceForge site set up and running, since it integrates mailing list creation and administration. However, if someone wants to pitch in and write the email address obfuscation bits, that would be cool too. -- CraigAndera [2004-08-01]

Comment

Obfuscation bits? Something like the javascript in this page http://www.metaprog.com/samples/encoder.htm ? [2004-12-03]

Comment

I like the idea to be notified and would like to see subscriptions stay. Better, I'd like to be able to subscribe to specific pages, i.e. my own personal page, and then people could use it to contact me, for example. What type of obfuscation do you think would be required? Just encoding letters, or something like mike<at>xtras<dot>net? -- MikeSchinkel [2004-08-02]

Comment

Well, I wasn't talking about removing subscriptions: just leveraging a listserver to not put everyone's email on the web page. I think that covers the 90% case. However, you obviously still have a use case for your personal email address to appear on a page and would like it to be obfuscated. I honestly don't know what it takes to mess with email addresses enough to break spam scanners these days, but we certainly could add a behavior that would turn "candera@candera.sytes.net" into "candera at candera dot sytes dot net" or whatever else. I suggest you add a FeatureRequest so we have the idea written down somewhere central. Then it's just a matter of convincing someone to implement the feature. -- CraigAndera [2004-08-03]

Question

Couldn't you just make the 'Subject' attribute hidden? Eg. :Subject: -- DavidPeterson [2004-10-05]

Question

Hey, I just came accross Flexwiki and its really cool!!Checking how could I use this tool for applications?

Question

Are there any sites using FlexWiki as a blog? -- Greg Gamble [2005-09-01]

Question

look like a wikipedia sort of webiste...interesting but I have to figure how it does work

Question

1.0.10.4515 doesn't like non-CamelCase topics. Do newsletters work with non CamelCase topics, e.g. "[My Topic]"? -- ChrisGeiger [2008-04-10]
