It is definitely not the solution to all wiki woes. And Sharepoint?

It is really nice.<br /><br />It is available on mediawiki.org and as part of <a href="http://www.ossfyd.com/" rel="nofollow">WikiFYD</a>.<br /><br />One of my main goals for WikiFYD is to include all of the usability improvements that normally go unnoticed, unconfigured, and unused.Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10079127592611032450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615332969083650973.post-55500170245026106762010-12-21T16:13:17.180-05:002010-12-21T16:13:17.180-05:00Mediawiki will happily use CamelCase if you stick ...Mediawiki will happily use CamelCase if you stick it in [[CamelCase]], and in a lot of places, people still use it, because they got used to it on Twiki, MoinMoin, and co.<br /><br />The GUI tools are somewhat useful, sadly the image embedding tool is still crap, you end up with attachments to a specific page, with no good naming, no organization, and no way to upload a new version.<br /><br />And you can still use single | for tables, I typically use the following for tables, as I think it's more sane<br /><br /><i><br />{| border="1"<br />!

It doesn't use CamelCase, it has GUI tools for formatting, tables, and images so you don't have to remember the syntax, tables use || so its much harder to accidentally get a single | screwing them up, etc.deroberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13816696652439841843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615332969083650973.post-48929425596291579192010-12-21T09:04:02.861-05:002010-12-21T09:04:02.861-05:00nice teaser. now, seriously, give us part two.nice teaser. now, seriously, give us part two.asqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997880551513905033noreply@blogger.com
