coldray.com’s wiki
Now that all my midterms are over, I’ve been able to dedicate some time to working on my web hosting company, coldray.com. Our system has been up for a few months, and a user-friendly control panel is now undergoing testing. This weekend, I’ve added one more component to our web hosting offerings: self-service support in the form of a wiki.
coldray.com’s wiki is based upon MediaWiki, the same wiki software that powers the venerable Wikipedia. Although MediaWiki doesn’t provide all the features I would like, I chose it because of its popularity and active development. Those two factors distinguish it from the other open-source wiki programs — I can rest assured that security holes will be discovered and patched in a timely matter, and more features implemented as the number of users and their feature requests increases.
So far, I’ve populated the wiki with some basic information regarding the Control Panel, how to create and delete email accounts, FTP accounts, subdomains, and MySQL databases.
Registration is currently required to edit, and only authorized users are allowed to register. I’m planning to relax these restrictions once I understand MediaWiki security better.
