What
“Wik.is” sites will be decommissioned in 51 days.
Why
In 2007, MindTouch stepped in to rescue wiki-dot-com site owners facing an abrupt domain shutdown. As you may recall, MindTouch volunteered to take over the hosting and migrate all wiki-dot-com sites to the wik.is domain. January marks four full years that MindTouch has been absorbing the hosting and maintenance costs of wik.is. Unfortunately we can’t continue to provide this free service.
Wik.is sites are running on an older, outdated version of MindTouch software. If you chose to migrate to our Cloud offering, you can look forward to these improvements and more:
- New Editor
- Updated Control Panel
- Updated Skins
- Export using Prince PDF
- Updated Dekiscript Functions
- Salesforce Connector
- SugarCRM Connector
- MySQL Connector
- MS SQL Connector
- AD/LDAP Connector – Authenticate users using your LDAP/AD server
- Additional API Elements Exposed
- Page Notifications – email notifications of page changes
- Advanced Restrict Access Controls
- Performance Improvements
- User Banning
- Polyglot Functionality – support multiple languages within one install
- Property Store – save meta information pages, site, and users
- Many Bug Fixes
