Web 2.0 Gone Bad: Wiki Host Stikipad Disappears

Wed, 28 May 2008 00:54:17 -0700

Wiki host Stikipad has been offline for a couple of weeks as confirmed by mentalized.net.

I have a free personal wiki hosted there, and I haven't backed up my data! Now there's no way to get my data back.

Stikipad had a fine wiki hosting service that provides both free and premium wiki hosting service. I've seen some popular open source software toolkits hosted on Stikipad. That's why I signed up to use it at the first place.

No matter what has happened at Stikipad, there's not even a simple email notification from them. This isn't how Web 2.0 is supposed to be.

Framework, CMS - What Do I Really Want from a Web Application Rapid Development Kit

Wed, 15 Mar 2006 21:10:03 -0800

Inspired by the blog What I Want From A Framework, I want to discuss what I want from a web application rapid development kit(WARDK) as a lazy developer. I am going to use PHP language as an example in my discussion, but the discussion can apply to other languages such as Java, Ruby, and Python.

Here’s what I want: the most important and common features (every web application that supports multiple users need to have these):

user management(CRUD operations on users, ban users, user group management), pluggable authentication(LDAP, OpenID, integration with other systems) OpenID)
