That would be Wiki While Sleepy. Qumana has a lot going on behind the scenes right now. We're working on some new content for our website in addition to our not-so-secret other projects. Arieanna and Ianiv set up a wiki for us to work on the content. We're using Media Wiki which is what Wikipedia is built on. Now, those who know me might be aghast, but I'm actually liking it. Okay, you can close your slack-mouthed, shocked jaws now. Except for one thing that should be obvious (which I have found the solution for this morning), I hate working in a browser. Last night, about 11:30 - midnight-ish I was writing some brilliant (IMHO) stuff on Blogging 101. It was great, it was pithy, it was lost. See last night I didn't know that alt-s saved, and in a nodding off, sleep-blurred haze I closed the tab with my edits before saving. When I grasped what had happened my eyes flew open and I said some things that really scared the cat. Now I know (I just tried) that alt-s would have saved me (I had been hitting ctrl-s all night, which of course, doesn't work like that). But this brings me to the subject of browser-based editing.
I think it is frankly amazing how blogs have managed to rise to such prominence with the focus on browser-based editing. One accidental close, one crash (no, browsers never, ever crash), and you can lose a lot. I've heard more than one anguished scream come from the floor of Gnomedex, BBS, or Northern Voice as someone's work just blasted into the compu-netherworld. Of course this is where Qumana comes in. Part of Qumana's reason for being is to free bloggers from their browser. You can write on the deck, at the beach, in a car, train, in a box, with a fox, yes you can Sam I am!
Yes, the browser-based WYSIWYG editors have gotten a lot better in the last year, but nothing beats being able to save to a file for the extra bit of security. We're always looking for ways to improve and extend Qumana, so ping us. We'd love to hear from you.
