Wiki-to-print

 

Network of wiki-publishing experiments

The code of the wiki-to-print instance that is running on the creative crowd server is published at Varia's Gitea under the CC4r license.

This project is inspired by and builds upon several previous iterations of and experiments with mediawiki-to-pdf workflows:

• Hackers & Designer's work on Making Matters
• TITiPI's work on Infrastructural Interactions
• Manetta's work on Volumetric Regimes
• Constant's and OSP's work on Diversions
• many more...

How does it work?

When you create a page in the Pdf namespace, it will load the wiki2print buttons in the navigation bar:

• CSS!
• View HTML
• View PDF
• Update text
• Update Media

wiki-to-print environments

• Pdf:APRJA Boilerplate
• Pdf:APRJA Minor Tech
• Pdf:Anarcho Krant Explorations
• Pdf:Content-Form (dummy)

For debugging

You can find the files of wiki-to-print here:

$ cd /var/www/wiki2print/web-interface/

$ ls

• web-interface.py: the flask application
• api.py: script with all the functions that are used by the flask application

You can run the flask application directly (instead of running it as a systemd service):

$ make server

If you add prints statements in the python files you can see the result in the terminal.
