foobarry(as the main wiki language format or has native support)08:41
foobarrywikis don't seem to be getting much love nowadays. lots of stale projects out there08:45
SuperMattWikis are *really* easy to write08:48
SuperMattyou could have one written in python/flask in an afternoon, with full markdown support08:48
foobarryenterprise ones with privileges and security are harder08:55
zmoylan-pi2-3 here mention markdown... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_software09:03

zmoylan-pihmmmm, does your lifeboat service their use maroons?11:58

SuperEngineerI think most lifeboat stations still use maroons... beats shit out of mobile phones with flat batteries!12:07
zmoylan-pii have seen pagers still in use around dublin so they could use those... months of battery from a single aa...12:08
daftykinsmy bad, i wasn't sure what that meant and had swanned off to another channel12:08

SuperEngineer...could even walk over to the socket and plug it in to charger...12:23
SuperEngineerbut decided on the "fun" option instead! [a.k.a couldn't give a s**t]12:24
daftykinsnot one sooty and not one sweep!12:26
SuperEngineerBOSS: "what d'yu mean the tablet failed during an upgrade and now you can't it on?!"12:26
