Came here to say this. Does anyone know whether there's an effort to port this to a sane wiki system?
That said, given that he's the original inventor of the wiki, I'd say he's earned a bit of patience on our part. Let's wait and see where he's going with these ideas (some of which are: federation, bi-directional linking between wikis, forking & merging, transclusion, etc.), a bit longer before contemplating setting up a "classic" wiki with this content.
See https://github.com/WardCunningham/remodeling#remodeling which is linked from the footer of the wiki.
here's a dump of the entire wiki in WikiWikiWeb markup. if you can do anything with it, let me know.
The two supported wiki markups:
- MediaWiki https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting
- TWiki http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TextFormattingRules
I wonder which one is the closest to WikiWikiWeb syntax.
Another cool stuff would be to put that in the gopherspace.
ward's site actually contains the rules for deconstructing the JSON and translating it to HTML. I'll have a look at that when I have time.
