Comments on: Idea: Wiki based IDE’s http://mangled.me/blog/coding/idea-wiki-based-ides/ The Mangled world of Matthew Tue, 19 Oct 2010 14:13:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: matthew http://mangled.me/blog/coding/idea-wiki-based-ides/comment-page-1/#comment-3140 matthew Tue, 03 Aug 2010 19:37:19 +0000 http://mangled.me/blog/?p=342#comment-3140 Interesting. I think we could make this work, the main questions/issues I have (as noted before) are: - Would the compilation be local or remote? I personally like the idea of remote. - How would you indicate dependencies (e.g. file/library) - I guess these are just a type of page link? If we could annotate links we could easily define the concept of a project and solution etc. Do you see any better ways? I wonder if we could trial this? Guess we should take the chat off line?

I wonder if we could trial this? Guess we should take the chat off line?

One aspect is how early in the process we could do this - would it be possible at the phone screen stage, before we meet a candidate face-to-face. It occurs to me that a Wiki IDE would be a good tool for this kind of assessment - remote collaborative IDE plus useful history / archive features.

E.g. is the code/wiki local or remote? May-be the pages are remote and the compile local. What happens re. editing a shared space. I definitely need to ponder some more. Personally I think developer environments are going to suck up all the social networking ideas over the last few years and go on to add a few new dynamics based around code. Microsoft is even thinking this way: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/codebook/ The codebubbles stuff sounds interesting – Would like a screen shot etc. I see numerous issues with my idea as stated, not that they could be overcome.
