[edit] Wiki documentation

  • marking pages validated for the officiel documentation
  • generate the documentation as HTML

[edit] High availability

* how to achieve availability

[edit] Wikis + Bug Tracking

* links
* showing bug lists

[edit] How are translations handled: being notified for out of date translations

* mediawiki way (pages are linked to each other but are different)
* xwiki way (same page names with autodetection of browser language)
* manuel way (different pages)

[edit] Can you be notified for created pages

* it would be nice for translator to subscribe to new page creation

[edit] Integration of Wikis in other systems

* use without the front end would be interesting
* in MoinMoin you can change your look and feel (xml-rpc, request_cli, python)
* in xwiki you have many apis (xml-rpc, portlet, gwt, rest)

[edit] Templates

* In would be interesting to support forms and templates

[edit] Linking

* automatic linking: suggest might work
