xowiki xowiki:
A xotcl-based enterprise wiki system with multiple object types

XoWiki is a Wiki implementation for OpenACS in XOTcl. Instead of
trying to implement the full set of Wiki markup commands of systems
like MediaWiki, XoWiki is based on a rich text editor and focuses more
on integration with OpenACS (e.g. categories, general comments,
ADP-includes). XoWiki combines aspects of wikis (ease of
page-creation) with aspects of a content management system (revisions,
re-usable items, multiple languages). Furthermore, XoWiki allows one to
define different types of links such one could define book-structures
(where a navigation structure could be built on the fly) or glossaries
with different kind of word relationships (like synonyms,
etc.). XoWiki supports pages in multiple languages and is localized.

Some features:
  - cross language links
  - inclusion of ADP pages
  - nesting of Wiki-pages
  - large set of includable content (includelets)
  - search
  - tags
  - categories
  - RSS
  - weblog
  - podcasts
  - notifications
  - web 2.0 gadgets (digg, delicious, my yahoo)
  - audio embedding
  - different appearances (template_file)
  - book-structures
  - prototype pages
  - import/export
  - virtual presence
  - analysis of collaboration networks
  - forms
  - named/unnamed pages
  - various security policies

You pass a list of those items (and some other parameters) to rss_gen, and it will generate your XML for you. You can also implenent a set of functions that satisfy the RSS service contracts and the RSS can be recreated from a scheduled procedure.

form-to-mail Form To Mail:
Form-to-Email Handling

The Form-To-Mail package is designed to work somewhat like formmail.pl - the user enters information into an HTML form on a page, and upon submitting the page the data is collected and emailed to an address of the administrator's choosing.

Form-to-Mail (FTM) is designed with reuse, and hopefully some security, in mind. Email addresses such as sender and recipient are configured by the administrator, stored in the database, and cannnot be overridden by form variables, which limits abuse of the form by third parties.

FTM is designed to be included on other pages in the site, and provides a facility for adding custom form elements to the form, using a .tcl file that can be as simple or complex as the developer requires. The package uses a single instance to generate the included HTML form, and to process the submitted form.

Enter, manage, and present user data appropriate for generation of a "facebook" or general user profile. Allows upload of a photo portrait as well as general education/work history.

PLEASE NOTE - although this module is in use at Sloan, it is far from finished. Sloan still plans to add many features, including the ability to dynamically manage fields and categories, and awareness of user types. In addition the package needs to be internationalized and ported to Postgres. There is also Sloan-specific code here, related to the Email For Life program, which needs to be parameterized or removed.

In short, this package is provided more for looking at than for using and will change significantly in future releases.
