I like Wikis. I use TWiki at work and it’s excellent. I think I need a wiki to document everything I’m doing in b2++, and I need it fast. Chances are I won’t use TWiki however, so I’m open to suggestions. If you’ve a favourite Wiki, then feel free to leave a comment. Applications that are written in PHP and use MySQL will get preference over others. Smarty support would be a bonus too. Tiki seems to fit the bill perfectly, but I haven’t tried it out yet.
Things to document:

1. Import the b2 readme, and make a “tag/plugin” section for blog owners.
2. How the weblog works, “always on” plugins, Smarty plugins, the flow of a weblog request.
3. To do list.
4. Bug tracker (should probably be seperate)
5. Feature requests.
6. And more..

Quick update – I started work on a page to list referers to your blog. Login to your blog here and load up b2referers.php
It’s sparse, and very incomplete. It’s the result of half an hour of work but expect lots of updates in the next few days!

Minor updates:

1. Add the following code to index.tpl to list your weblog entries from a month ago.
   

   {todayayearago when='month' heading='<h1>A Month Ago</h1>'}

2. I added headers to the site to make pages stale. Mail me if you notice a difference.
3. Referer format has changed slightly. It requires a db update, so the next release will require upgrading users run upgrade.php
4. Search pages are generated with a different Smarty key. This should remove any highlighting for users who come directly to this site.
5. I fixed a small html bug in the lastupdated.php script. If URLs aren’t printed properly on the “Last updated” list, then change line 33 so it reads:
   

   $smarty->assign( "site", "http://" . $basesite );

6. Added a list of clickable smilies to b2edit. Click to add them to your blog post! 8)
