Atlas Wiki Application Status

In a few other posts I've read that the Wiki application was hidden on the atlas website because it wasn'tcompatible with the newest release of atlas. I was going to checkout out the wiki mostly for learning purposes (i bought Foundations of Atlas - and most of Chapt 7 is about the Wiki app). But i don't want to crack open the Wiki code if much of it is out of date and/or no longer supported.

I have heard "we will update the Wiki in a future release" - what is the status of these efforts? I would wait if a release was expected soon or if someone has already updated the wiki app.

What were the fundamental problems with the Wiki app and the latest version of atlas? A few minor changes in code syntax or major architectural issues? I'm trying to avoid making the same programming mistakes myself.

Any information or direction is appreciated - Thanks in advance for your response,

Hey,

I purchased that book too and was looking for the wiki, i never did actually find it. Also, after attempting to work through many of those examples found in the book i found that the majority didn't work with the July version of Atlas that I have installed. Were you able to find updated examples online?

Thanks,

Kas

I found a download to the wiki application here -http://forums.asp.net/thread/1241581.aspx

The author does have some errata and updated code from chapters 3 & 5 on his blog -http://www.philotic.com/blog/?cat=3. Unfortunately i've still found a few problems with the latest code he has posted in his blog. I've also found a number of examples in Chapt 7 that do not run properly which he has not addressed in his blog yet (has no one else got to Chapt 7 yet? - j/k).

So after hours of debugging code from that book the last few nights I figured i would post my original question here - and try to see what i was getting myself into before crack open the wiki code – and possibly spend many more hours more debugging code.


Hi jkunkle:

Can you be more specific about the problems you've found? I'd be happy to post fixes and blog them.
