Jerry Taylor? - webcrumb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think you're missing the point - this isn't simply another hosted wiki, it's a wiki designed to be a collaborative trouble-shooting resource, i.e. when you find and fix a problem you post it to help others who come across the same problem. It's easy enough to install your own wiki for internal documentation, but that's not the focus of this. It's a good idea, though I'm not sure if it's going to be worth paying money - if it's any good, someone will do it for free. That would also increase its potential audience.

- htaccess, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2What kind of "IT Pro" hasn't used a wiki before? Most IT pros I know have been using wikis for internal documentation for years and a high percentage of open source projects have a wiki for documentation. The technology is available for any "IT pro" to install themselves or their organization for free.
Perhaps the fact you can tag (web 2.0 style) a bug will make everyone stop using other bug reporting systems or google and move to splunk? - dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Erm, yes, they could install something like mediawiki themself, but it is empty (obviously).. The idea behind it is a wiki full of system errors/problems, in one place, with soloutions.. It doesn't say "system admins never heard of wiki's, and don't know how to set them up", it's just condesing information into one wiki, saving time, which is a good thing, no?
- Ben - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2wow, errr not to put a downer on it but which IT pros would hire in something they can run themselves for "free"? (meaning software is free, not the servers, electricity, technical cover).
I think i've just answered my own question. - mtupker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I was looking for something like there a while back. I never found a decent one so I started my own but there isn't much there. Lets hope this gets a good backing.
- amigiac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Isn't the point that it will be valuable to IT pro's because of the info users add to it rather than it just being a wiki, I'd rather search the newsgroups at google at least they have legacy stuff. digg for the idea, will take a while to be useful.
- chabuhi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sure doesn't look like a wiki from what Splunk's "tour" shows...
- ollywompus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I love that 'Glitch Wiki' sounds like:
a.) a pub in London
or
b.) two scratch D.J.'s joining to form a 'band'
:)
-olly - anseljh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So... it's a knowledge base? How is this better than Experts Exchange?
- DuoPros, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This will be a big help for me, ive been waiting for something like this to come around.
- Char, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I reckon I can see it take off, especially as I originally heard about Splunk from their collaboration with Nagios, a great, free open source network monitor, so I can expect alot of knowledgeable IT professionals hitting this Wiki and getting it started. Definitely a +digg.
Oh and in case anyone is too lazy to hit splunk.com, Splunk takes in all of your logs, alerts etc and indexes them so you can search for what exactly is happening with your IT infrastructure at the moment. - ToeCheese, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1A Tuttle IT Pro
- dothebackstab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0sorry, but "splunk"?
