From OHO - search engine for sustainable open hardware projects


OHO was developed entirely based on MediaWiki, the standard software for Wikipedia and many other wikis. Advantages of this software are: - MediaWiki is a collaborative software, which allows many people to work on the content at the same time - MediaWiki has a discussion page for each page, which makes it possible to document clarifications and discussions - MediaWiki has a version history for each page, which means that plan changes can be tracked, by whom and when they were made No other software offers these advantages, and no other software is successfully used in projects with high user and visitor numbers. This is why we have chosen MediaWiki.

During the creation of OHO, many forms were used, some of them using existing MediaWiki extensions, some of them were developed by ourselves. MediaWiki is not inherently optimized for the use of forms. For this reason, it can happen that sometimes some pages have longer loading times than expected from websites nowadays.
