Deki Wiki Worth Checking Out
Many of you probably know that I’m a little bit of a wiki geek, so when I do the rare thing of pointing out a wiki product, it’s because it’s got potential. I just stumbled on Deki Wiki today, and in checking out the interface and doing a quick browse of the sources, it’s definitely a breath of fresh air. Where did this product come from?! They derived it from MediaWiki, then added in WYSIWYG, decoupled the presentation layer from a powerful business logic API written in C# for Mono, and made it open source. It’s got all the things you’d expect living in a MediaWiki-centric world, but many times the flexibility. Now only if they had an upgrade path that translated existing MediaWiki markup into their XHTML markup formatting…
Check out the explanation of its architecture in this video. (Once I figure out how to embed a Viddler video, I’ll do that instead)
