Wilma 1.xMN

Wilma is no longer actively developed or maintained; it hasn't been since 1997. Thanks.

Version 1.xMN of Wilma is independent of the original distribution by E-doc. It is free for non-commercial use (i.e., as long as you don't make money off it-- see the license), and requires Perl 5 on a Unix machine.

Using Wilma

Wilma is extremely flexible. You can have a public submission facility, to allow anyone to add resources, or you can password protect it (with .htaccess) to restrict access to selected people; in this way, you can manage lists of meeting minutes, job offerings or items for sale.

You can even use Wilma (or several Wilmas) to manage an entire site's index. By keeping control over the organization of a site with Wilma while allowing people to add and update pages at will, you can take the headache out of Intranet management.

Downloading Wilma

The most current version of Wilma is 1.36MN, which includes bugfixes and several new features. It's probably a good idea to read some documentation first. Wilma is available in a tarred, gzipped archive. To unpack it, move it to the desired directory and type

$ gzip -d wilma1.36.tar.gz
$ tar -xvf wilma1.36.tar

I'd love to hear what you think of my version of Wilma; drop me a line!

About this Version

This version of Wilma is by Mark Nottingham, and is unsupported by E-doc. While there have been many enhancements, none of it would be possible without their generous contribution of the original software to the 'net. Thanks, Andrew and Daniel!

Support queries and bug reports should go to Mark Nottingham. Please check the FAQ before mailing.

If you're upgrading from a previous version, you'll find that changing to this version only requires entering your values to the new wilma.conf file, as well as copying your data directory over.

Please pay attention to the license information found in the docs/ directory, as use of this software implies responsibilities to the current author, as well as the original authors. Enjoy!
