As an open source enthusiast and indie developer, I’m always excited to share tools that enhance collaboration and content sharing. Today, I’m thrilled to introduce a new “recipe” that bridges two powerful platforms: PMWiki and SlideShare.
PMWiki: The Versatile Wiki Platform
PMWiki has become a go-to solution for collaborative projects across the internet. Its flexibility and ease of use make it perfect for a wide range of applications. Now, we’re taking it a step further by enabling seamless integration with SlideShare.
Introducing the SlideShare Recipe for PMWiki
Our team at SlideShare has developed a simple recipe that allows you to embed presentations directly into your PMWiki pages. Here’s how you can get started:
- Download the recipe here.
- Unzip the contents into your PMWiki’s
cookbook/directory.
How to Use the Recipe
Once installed, embedding a SlideShare presentation is as easy as using this tag:
| |
The {presentation id} is the unique identifier in the SlideShare URL. For example:
- SlideShare URL:
http://www.slideshare.net/nmenap/machu-picchu-77777 - Embed code:
(:slideshare nmenap/machu-picchu-77777:)
It’s that simple! Now you can enhance your wiki pages with rich, visual content from SlideShare presentations.
Why This Matters for Open Source and Collaboration
This integration exemplifies the power of open source collaboration. By connecting PMWiki and SlideShare, we’re creating new possibilities for knowledge sharing and team collaboration. Whether you’re working on a project, sharing educational content, or building a community resource, this tool can significantly enhance your wiki’s capabilities.
Looking Ahead
As we continue to explore ways to improve open source tools and foster collaboration, we’d love to hear your thoughts. How are you using this integration? What other tools would you like to see connected?
Remember, in the world of open source and indie development, every small improvement can lead to significant innovations. Let’s keep building and sharing!
