EE 1.4.2 and forum 1.3 and wiki module
Expression Engine just released a new version unfortunately I’m backed up on grading and won’t be looking at it until probably Wednesday next week err, it’s installed but I won’t be customizing the theme until I have more time - gotta go to the gym now and then finish grading.
ExpressionEngine 1.4.2 is primarily a maintenance release, resolving any bugs reported recently. It also includes over 20 new features and enhancements.
The Wiki Module is a powerful wiki that integrates seamlessly with ExpressionEngine, providing a great solution for websites centered on community contributed content. It is included free with the ExpressionEngine Personal and Commercial licenses.
The new Discussion Forum Module adds significant new features such as the ability to “split” or “merge” threads, “Show/Hide” capability, enhanced RSS support, and more.
I have already discussed with Graham about using the WIKI and will be starting something soon with that.
Wiki Features
* Integrates with ExpressionEngine’s Membership Module
* Supports multiple wikis on a single ExpressionEngine installation
* Add pages by going to http://example.com/index.php/wiki/index/NewPage, by using the Find Page search in the sidebar, or creating a link using wiki syntax
* Admins can easily delete articles
* Edit the content of existing pages
* View the history of previous revisions of a page
* Redirect a page to another page (Admins)
* Lock a page to prevent further editing (Admins)
* Moderate a page to accept only approved revisions (Admins)

* Changed the behavior of the input filter such that tabs are converted to four spaces so that code examples posted in the forums will retain indenting.
* Fixed a bug with breadcrumbs when editing a reply.
* Fixed a bug that was making the page scroll when the smileys link was opened.
* Fixed a bug in which child forums were not always respecting the parent permissions (just like in real life...).
