Well after much debate and delay I started down the path of preparing for my version 2.0 presence on the web. Lots of things have been going on over the past year and most of it has not made it to my blog. Part of that is an issue I had tailoring this blog to the content I want to post. Basically, I was fighting it to be something it is not supposed to be. All that changes moving forward. This blog will remain my current main public presence on the web and the means for me to distribute notices about what is going on and new reference content I create. Some of the notices and reference will only be for internal consumption at Oracle and hosted on corporate resources accessible via the intranet. However, I still want to post plenty of material available for public consumption. That material will be posted on a personal server running Oracle Enterprise Linux I have had up and running for a while. I just need to lock it down a little more on security and then will make it available on-line. One of the big public features I am looking forward to is a wiki to post thoughts on for discussion and gather other peoples ideas. I really like Wiki pages for this sort of thing and find them much more useful then a threaded forum. Finally, with a server under my control accessible over the internet I can finally start serving large multimedia files. This proved to be difficult if not impossible in the past due to storage requirements. My broadband provider may slap me down if this is a success but I will deal with this "good problem" when and if it comes up. I may just after all just have a self inflated opinion that people want to hear what I have to say ;-))

What wiki software will you be using? My personal favorite is Confluence: http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/

I like confluence and have used that at home for a little while now. The problem I have with it is the licensing. I have no problem with people making money but frankly I want to invest my team learning something I can place at each clients site with no overhead cost. A bit selfish but there it is. For this effort I am going to use Yawiki (http://yawiki.jzonic.org/page/show.jz) since that is what will be extended and bundled with Oracle webcenter. It also has SOAP doc literal interfaces whereas confluence and other use SOAP RPC calls. I hate SOAP RPC! and of course... it is free.
