Wiki on my App [May. 15th, 2008|08:14 am]

For the applications, I always include a link to a WIKI site. The Wiki I use is JSPWiki, and it resides on a development server I use. If someone using my app wants help, they can click on the Wiki link. The page that they are taken to is simply the [Productname] space [ProductVersion]. I started including the ProductVersion because I was running into issues when more than one version were in play, but I plan to go back to using the product name alone, because I think major splits can be thought of as new applications, deserving of their own names. The cool thing about JSPWiki is, the page does not have to exist. You can simply create a link to it, and the first time someone tries to go to that page, they are given the option to create the page.  This allows for dynamic content, or in my case, dynamic help. If I want to include a set of help pages for dynamically created application pages, I simply have to supply the application page name, and JSPWiki does the rest.
