I’m updating my copy of the Smallest Federated Wiki, and the plugin format has evolved again. (Not surprising, the SFW is still in its experimental stage.) So, I’ve broken out my plugin for ThoughtStorms / SdiDesk format (wikish) from the original Project ThoughtStorms and made a dedicated git repository in the recommended format, naming convention …

Oh wow! This is MONUMENTAL! Ward Cunningham is migrating the original wiki, the Portland Pattern Repository, to the Smallest Federated Wiki.
