RubyForge projects now have wiki capabilities

All,

The RubyForge team (well, Tom Copeland) has added the ability to have a wiki
integrated into each project in RubyForge. We are using usemod wiki (a perl
script...we know...no bantering about that...most of gforge is written in
PHP...so at least perl is a step in the ruby direction ;-).

If you are a project admin and want to enable your wiki:

Log in to RubyForge and click on the "Admin" tab for your project and then
click on "Edit Public Info", you'll notice a new checkbox for enabling a
Wiki. Checking this box will add a new tab to your project that lets people
get to a Wiki where they can put together a FAQ or documentation or whatever
Wiki-ish sorts of things they're interested in.

You could also change your index.html on your web page to:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=/wiki/wiki.pl"/>
</head>
<body>
Redirecting to <a href="/wiki/wiki.pl">here</a>
</body>
</html>

Which would make your http://<project>.rubyforge.org redirect to the wiki
(for those of us that want to have the wiki BE the homepage).

If you are a project user the direct wiki address for each (enabled) project
is:

http://<project>.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl

Best,

The RubyForge Team

Really nice, thanks for letting us know. Thanks for the feature Tom.

No problemo!

My apologies to some folks who received a variant on this notification
more than once; a bug has been filed:

Yours,
