This project will provide a real-time collaborative wiki based on markdown, and Operational Transformation like the ShareJS wiki example.

• make remote document updates trigger local markdown renderering
• add some way to upload resources (i.e. images, pdfs, zips, etc). dropzone? or could just use
• use browser editor (ACE, CodeMirror, etc) instead of text area

we should make an etherpad-based solution instead if you want these features

• add login/authentication system (passport?)
• investigate storing page versions
• investigate storing author information (based on login/authentication)
• try to use the latest ShareJS version (different API)

• make ShareJS collaboration work
• enable persistent pages via redis database
• make editor side-by-side with rendered page (rather than up/down)
• add some markdown-friendly css to make stuff look nice
• create a better template page with a header and a footer

Run the install dependencies script. You may need to use sudo.

./install_dependencies.sh

If you are using ubuntu add the configuration to /etc/default/redis-server:

ULIMIT=10032

Start redis. This may create a file called appendonly.aof that holds the contents of the wiki.

redis-server --appendonly yes

Now, start the wiki server.

node server

(nodejs server on ubuntu)
