    Perspective is a GPL Wiki that can search MS Office documents and has WYSIWYG editing - note I am the author!

  2. From Java to C# by arethuza · · Score: 1 · on Creating .NET C# Applications for Linux
    I started using Java in early '95 and for a long time was a big fan - including designing some shrinkwrapped products and million-line plus projects.

    However, these days I favour C# for my own work. It feels like a cleaner, better thought out Java - with much nicer XML and XSLT libraries.

    The good thing about Mono is that it gives me the opportunity to port my Windows-focused open-source project (Perspective a GPL-ed WYSWIYG Wiki that can search MS Office documents) to Linux. You may ask why I wanted to focus on Windows? So that plenty of people will use it.

    Java is good, but I prefer C# - simple as that.

  3. Re:Wiki, yes, but what about the other documents? by Darth_Burrito · · Score: 1 · on Knowledge Management for an IT Department?

    We're just trying out Perspective, a .net wiki. It is supposed to have features for searching over office documents. As a lot of our documentation exists in odds and ends word files, this is why we're trying it out. Of course, there's only two people in our IT department so we can get away with more adhoc solutions.

    I think the search is built on top of some windows indexing service, so presumably it has whatever limitations that has in terms of document types.

  4. Unfortunately, Windows only by arethuza · · Score: 2, Informative · on A Simple Note Taking Software - Which One?

    If you want a WYSIWYG Wiki try Perspective - which is Open Source (GPL). Note: I am the author, I do use my own private instance for personal note taking.

  5. Shameless plug! by arethuza · · Score: 1 · on Are we Headed for a Wiki World?
    Here is a shameless plug for my own Wiki engine, features include: WYSIWYG editing, flexible security model, attachments, versioning of data and attachments, XML data storage (no need for a DB engine), searching over MS office docs etc.

    Perspective

  6. Shameless plug by arethuza · · Score: 1 · on Microsoft Releases FlexWiki as Open Source

    If anyone is interested in a GPL-ed open source Wiki Engine that works with Microsoft technology then you could try looking at Perspective

  7. Wiki which searches MS Office Docs by arethuza · · Score: 3, Informative · on Implementing a Knowledge Management Solution?
    You could have a look at Perspective, an open source Wiki that uses Indexing Service for searching so can search MS Office documents and can be configured for Windows Integrated Authentication. Its early stage but GPL-ed and doesn't require a database (data is held in XML files). Find it at Perspective.

    And yeah, I'm the author, so I am biased!
