The day-page-set for the talk in the Melbourne-wiki
Read the page talk, explained.
The talk in which wikis do we listen to? Who is listening to the talk in the Melbourne-wiki? See the
wiki-net talk.
ting Melbourne
MattisManzel:
It’s been a while that I’ve been trying on collaborative online editing sessions in real-time called ting. See the day-page-set collab-editor-wiki - tings. Some more information is on the page 'wiki-net' - wiki-net ting. Today it came to my mind that I can create a day-page-set for local tings in whatever wiki in the wiki-net and I first did so in the Melbourne-wiki - ting Melbourne.
All we’d need is to appoint for a first Melbourne ting, meet (in real-time) and do some Melbourne text jamming. Topic proposals are welcome for tings but they actually often develop their own dynamics. It’s fun, I promise! ting Melbourne?
Try it out on the page MeetingWords - ting Melbourne. Make sure to check the time slider up to the right.
Mµs via friendfeed display user icons and they do update
MattisManzel:
More experiments. The Mµs tag Melbourne display user icons and do update now. Bingo.
The Mµs tag Melbourne, explained display some user icons as big images even.
Mµs via friendfeed display user icons but they don’t update
MattisManzel:
Experiments. Using friendfeed I get user icons and even maps but the sheer beauty doesn’t update, it seems. An attempt at least.
feeds
MattisManzel:
I will try out an idea for a new day-page-set in the Melbourne-wiki. It includes the feeds in the set day-page-sets and all the other feeds that are in use in the wiki and its periphery of associated web services. I’ll name it
feeds.
Ok. Looks fine now. It will likely replace the day-page-sets in a while.
request for a google wave invite for the Melbourne-wiki
MattisManzel:
If somebody has enough spare google wave invites left and a heart for wiki or Melbourne or both: one to MelbourneWiki ÄT gmail DÖT com would be appreciated. I’m getting short of them. Thanks.
diigo - Melbourne-wiki
MattisManzel:
Having tried around with it already a while ago I returned to diigo and started the account
diigo - Melbourne-wiki and the diigo - group Melbourne.
The links in the soup of the Melbourne-wiki should be forwarded via ping.fm into diigo. Let’s see what happens.
The page diigo group Melbourne includes the feeds provided by the group.
experiments with socnodes
MattisManzel:
I’m experimenting with socnodes. The soup of the Melbourne-wiki goes into
At least the second step, the soup group - Melbourne-wiki via feedburner (setting ping shot activated) into socnodes should go in real time. Let’s see.
2009-09-26:
The inclusions got accepted with PubSubHubBub, which means realtime forwarding, not waiting half an hour until a service updates. Unfortunately the soup-feeds for the wikis in socnodes have been removed by someone before I could see if it works. Anyhow. That’s the way it goes.
using ping.fm offers a variety of new services for the Melbourne-wiki
MattisManzel:
I discovered that [[twitterfeed?]] (which forwards our soup into the µblogging world) has an option to send to [[ping.fm?]]. I previously had used the forwarding to [[identi.ca?]]. From ping.fm now I can send wiki updates to a variety of services such as identi.ca - Melbourne-wiki, twitter - Melbourne-wiki, delicious - Melbourne-wiki, jabber Melbourne-wiki and jaiku - Melbourne-wiki. There are many more services ping.fm can forward to.
BarCamp Melbourne
MattisManzel:
I integrated the BarCamp Melbourne as tightly into the Melbourne-wiki as possible. Fun!
Melbourne BarCampers, have a nice one!
There’s a group for the Melbourne-wiki on barcampmelbourne.org group - Melbourne-wiki btw.
orkut, via twitkut
MattisManzel:
I moved
orkut - Melbourne-wiki out of the bar to the right thinking I can’t use the google reader - Melbourne-wiki stream to represent the wiki and then I realized it updates fine via twitter and the twitkut application I had tried out a while ago but had forgotten about. So I moved it back in.

tiny.cc/melbournewiki
MattisManzel:
The easy-to-remember address for the Melbourne-wiki is
So in case somebody should ever ask you “What is the address for the Melbourne-wiki?” you just answer:
That’s useful, isn’t it?
There is a link tracker tiny.cc/melbournewiki counting clicks.
experiments with google
MattisManzel:
The google wave presentation did impress me, yes. I’m thus experimenting with google. On [[orkut.com_-_Melbourne-wiki?]] you find the inclusion of google reader - Melbourne-wiki. Currently I have to click share for every post. That’s not it yet. Hmm.
Found it. You have to use a folder that is public.
This page http://www.google.com/reader/shared/user/09054634379483746770/label/autoshared generates this feed http://www.google.com/reader/public/atom/user/09054634379483746770/label/autoshared
Lemme try to include it
Doesn’t work. Is there rss instead of atom?
On google profiles - Melbourne-wiki you find back our external links.
A hello to the Melbourne Linux user group
MattisManzel:
A hello from here to the Melbourne Linux user group. Great you run a wiki! I tried the dokuwiki software myself - using dokuwiki I mean, not setting it up. It’s very good.
MelbourneLinuxUserGroup or Melbourne-wiki - Melbourne Linux user group links to your home page in the Melbourne-wiki.
The list of other user groups in Melbourne is impressing. http://www.mlug.org.au/doku.php/other_groups
Have a nice day all.
contents from the original Melbourne-wiki recovered, feed inclusion
MattisManzel:
I recovered as much as I could find of the original Melbourne wiki from the internet archive [1] and moved the contents into the new Melbourne-wiki. You find links on the page Melbourne.
I searched for Melbourne rss in the Australian Google and included some random feeds into pages on the web-site list. Almost every feed can be included into the Melbourne-wiki, Oddmuse is good for that. So if you know a Melbourne blog or whatever that should have a home page here drop the url in the talk, please. I will show you how to do it. It’s not that difficult.
It’s raining wikis for Melbourne
MattisManzel:
Here we go, another wiki for Melbourne: http://www.melpedia.com.au/
It seems part of a wiki hive http://www.wikitoria-network.com/ which I’d say is likely Victoria located.
