Some people only know Wikipedia and thinks that there is only one wiki software in the market. Well, I know that there are a few around but when I went to WikiMatrix via ReadWriteWeb, I was shocked… there are like 50 different wiki software around! Anyway, enough of ranting.
Wikis are great and I have been using various Wikis for a while now. However there are some things that I would like to see in Wikis more. Let me explain.
Wiki is a place where you write about serious stuff. You talk about real topics related to the topic/environment of the wiki (if any). See OpenGarden or Game Programming Wiki or Mike 2.0. Contributors do not generally deviate too far from the main topics of the Wiki. However, not everyone wants to be serious or wiki might not be conducive enough to cultivate new ideas or general ranting. Therefore we have a blog.
Also, I do see value if a document manager is integrated with the Wiki, the latest updated version of the document can be found on the Wiki. As documents always change, having a integrated platform will always be helpful.
Just my 2 cents worth.
