End Software Patents project comes out swinging

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:00:00 GMT
Four months after being announced, the End Software Patents project (ESP) is launching a new Web site with arguments for economists, computer scientists, lawyers, and lay peoplemen about why they should support the project. Prominent on the site is the publication of a report on the state of patents in the United States during 2006-07, and a scholarship contest that will award $10,000 for "for the best paper on the effects of the patentability of software and business methods under US law."

NAME
dokuwiki-addsite - Create a new site driven by DokuWiki SYNOPSIS
dokuwiki-addsite {SITE_NAME} DESCRIPTION
DokuWiki is a standards compliant, simple to use wiki mainly aimed at creating documentation of any kind. dokuwiki-addsite creates the file hierarchy and configuration required to define a new site driven by the installed DokuWiki engine. OPTIONS
SITE_NAME Name of the site to create. For a virtual host-based setup, it reflects the corresponding hostname. For instance, for a site accessible at an address such as http://wiki.project.example.com:8080/foo/bar/, it can be either project.example.com, wiki.project.example.com, wiki.project.example.com.foo.bar or even 8080.wiki.project.example.com.foo.bar. For a directory or htaccess-based setup, this is the corresponding site identifier. For instance, for a site accessible at an address such as http://wiki.example.com/project/, rewritten by the web server as doku.php?animal=project, it is simply project. NOTES
The site configuration is stored in /etc/dokuwiki/farm/SITE_NAME/, and the data is stored in /var/lib/dokuwiki/farm/SITE_NAME/, as indicated in the site configuration. In a virtual host-based setup, if you need to make a given site accessible at several URLs, you can symlink its configuration directory to another name (it is not necessary to symlink the data directory). If you need to rename a site, you can rename the configuration and data directories, and edit the configuration to point to the new data directory. BUGS
No check is done against the SITE_NAME, just avoid names like ../../../etc. Please report any bug to the Debian BTS. SEE ALSO
