The way a Wiki _should_ work
Reading Jon Udel write, “… making the browser a better writing instrument.“ I see clearly that technology like Mozile should be the defactor standard for Wikis. No more editing Wiki’s as text using obscure formatting codes, you edit them as XHTML. Better yet, use technology like Ajax (or Atlas?) and you dynamically update the page on the server… even seeing live updates by other users.
I have a pretty extensive Wiki on my site pretty much dedicated to gaming, here. I use the MoinMoin Wiki. It’s a great Wiki tool but it’s an aging tool and due for an update. Incorporating Mozile-like technology with Ajax-like dybamic updating would be killer.
UPDATE: Actually, I can’t be the first to think about this. Does anyone know of a Wiki that employes these techniques? I’d be tempted to switch as long as the backend runs on Debian Linux.
