Corporate Software Development Wiki?

Posted by Cliff on from the a-different-use-for-a-wiki dept.

gnujoshua asks: "My company would like to expand the use of its Wiki to include source code and API documentation. It would be nice to have auto-generated, syntax highlighted, and well documented source code, integrated nicely into the Wiki. Ideally, changes to source could be made right in the Wiki, barring permissions, and furthermore, it would be nice to see if it compiles against the library as well. What recommendations does Slashdot have for Wikis and scripts that could be used effectively to this end?"

  1. Google by GameMaster · · Score: 3, Informative

    You know, I recommend Google. For instance it took me less than a minute searching on Google to find this http://qbnz.com/highlighter/. It's called GeSHi, and, apparently, it is an open source library for generic syntax highlighting. Maybe you could put just a little bit of effort into looking for a solution before you try to get a community of thousands to spend their time doing it for you. A good first step would be to find your own answer to the other few problems you mentioned now that I've given you one for free.
