Another month had passed, here are the updates that happened in the month: Wikijump updates: It’s been a slow month on getting PRs merged, but we’ve been progressing on and have several open PRs for implementing page locks, refining data importer from Wikidot and other general improvements. And that’s about it!

Another month had passed, here are the updates that happened in the month: Wikijump updates: FTML updates: This month we have Flawed joining as trusted Wikijump developer! Their first contribution is a role and permission system, which allows for granular control in different member roles, more than just the admin and moderator that Wikidot offers. Other than this and general improvements, we have started working on implementing backend features for the listpages module. Thanks Flawed and everyone on the team! And that’s about it!
It’s been a busy month, and we have some exciting news! But first, here are the updates that happened in the month: Wikijump updates: FTML updates: Quite the list isn’t it? Now for the big news of the month, let us welcome hoah, Syxles and jsthope to the Wikijump team as trusted developers! Hoah will primarily be dealing with frontend work, Syxles primarily on the backend, and jsthope right now working with the ftml library. They have already contributed a fair amount to different aspects of the project, as seen by their pull requests. Thanks everyone for all the contributions!…
Another month had passed, here are the updates that happened in the month: Wikijump updates: This month we have hoah joining to help us migrate our front end code from Svelte 4 to Svelte 5!

They have been very productive and submitted a lot of pull requests regarding Wikijump backend features. Thanks Syxles! That’s about it, and have a happy new year!
Over the course of Wikijump development, both analyzing Wikidot code and implementing new Wikijump code, we’ve come across a fair number of table schemas. And there’s something we noticed, which is that there are a lot of database tables which essentially just link one thing to another, potentially tagging on some data. Now this is actually kind of a problem. Because, for each table, we need to have boilerplate for CRUD operations, as well as checks for sanity and permissions. This is a place where Wikidot definitely comes up short; user blocks only affect private messages, some systems for inputting…
It’s been a bit since the last development blog post, and as you can see from the post’s title, I meant to write this sooner. That said, things have generally proceeding gradually and smoothly. In this blog post I wanted to highlight one particular improvement made to DEEPWELL, our backend / internal API service.
