VimWiki - released finally

[Sebastian Menge]

[cross-posted to vim, vim-dev, vim-announce, wikia-l]

Hi all

Finally I have imported all the vim tips from http://vim.org/tips to

    http://vim.wikia.com

and set up a minimal infrastructure to keep things going. Not everything
is perfect, but I think it is usable now.

Thanks to all the support from [hidden email] and especially to the very
kind wikia community (#wikia on freenode and the mailing list,
Greetings!).

Some words on contribution: A good wiki depends on two main factors:
Excellent content and a lively community. We have a lot of good content
now, but to make it excellent we need You!

If you ever posted a tip or a comment to the old tips database, please
have a look at it on the wiki, and review the page. Every little bit
helps!

See you on the wiki, Sebastian.

if you must have ads, would it be possible to go with text-only ads?  
Additionally, the "Digg this story" button at the bottom is stupid ;-)

Just my destructive 2 cents,
Nico

Sebastian,

Why not utilize the "talk:" pages for the comments (see discussion tab
at top of each wiki page)?

Just curious.

Lets avoid using the vim-announce mailing list for a discussing of vim
wiki and stick to vim-dev.

Very good work Sebastian, it looks great to me.

I have already come across a new tip on vim wikia that I hadn't known
anything about which I thought I might draw programmer's attention to
(sorry if you already know about it). Tip #1267, which is a tip to
enable a programmer to see (by a simple key combination of his/her
choice), in which function they are. Very useful if you have just landed
in the middle of a long function during a search for example, you know
longer have to move around inside the buffer to find which function you
are in, just type your chosen key combination: see
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Show_current_function_name_(for_C_programmers)
if you are interested.

Thanks very much to the original author of the tip and to everyone who
has contributed to setting up the vim wikia.
Rob.
