Populating wiki database

5 New Member
I'm creating a wiki-style website with a mysql database.
I'm not to this point yet, but I'm thinking ahead of when I'll
need to start populating the database. Obviously the point
is for users to populate it themselves, but I've been to
several travel wiki websites and it seems like they almost
share identical information. Is there some sort of central
data I could tap into? Or just wishful thinking? For
instance, lets say I wanted to populate the database with
the popular cities in every state... is there an easier way
besides manually entering.. or paying someone for data
entry? Maybe wikis aren't as magic as I thought they were.

What module is most recommended for accessing Sybase from Python? This one: http://www.object-craft.com.au/projects/sybase/sybase/ ? Also, is there any module that provides a generic DB API and can be hooked to both Sybase and postgresql? This (http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0249.html) looks pretty old.

I'm looking for a Wiki engine to set up for my company, so that we can incrementally add user documentation for a fairly complex program, plus allow users to add their own comments for the benefit of others. I'd strongly prefer a Python-based Wiki, since that allows me the chance to add plugins with minimal effort (being a python enthusiast and programmer). However, I'd also like something that can provide a little more structure than...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
