PiFi Wiki Report

In this report we will track our progress configuring and then distributing Smallest Federated Wiki for the Raspberry Pi. We'll also repeat reports we hear of people putting our new wiki to use on the platform.

We've got the First Node Version Installed without knowing much about Pi, Debian or Node. We're still struggling with a few details, most troublesome is resolving openId logins.

We've shown we can Blink the OK LED using writes to /sys files. We're using this as a general health indicator as we debug networking problems with our headless board.

We've noticed periods of intense packet collisions on our home network. We're Logging Data in wiki from continuous pings on several machines.

We're using some of the very first and nearly forgotten federated wiki data visualizations written 18 months ago. We took the time to bring these up to date.

Why call this PiFi Wiki? The platform combination is unique enough to deserve its own name. We like saying it. And it shows that, unlike TEAM, there is Plenty of I in PiFi Wiki.

We're using the Pi to test interactive client-server connections based solely on wiki plugins. This will form the basis of our Wiki Research Laboratory which supports data science in the cloud, the Pi cloud included.

We've included Pi in our MicroHAMS Demonstration WiFi/20m bridge. The pieces by David Turnbull and Russell Senior integrated smoothly. blog
