!!! Introduction

Here is a page to try and organize ideas to extend SWDWiki and possibly other wiki to make them more useful and allow them to replace more traditional tools.

!!! Traditional tools
Here is a list of traditional tools that compete with Wikis:
* filesystem/shared network drive (or even local drive) (smb, nfs)
* spreadsheets
* database applications (catalogs etc.)
* document editor
* note taking application
* file versioning system (svn, git, webdav)
* mindmapping tools
* web server/publication system
* email
* search engine


!!! Current strong points

Currently a wiki already offers a lot of interesting features:
* document editing/publishing with multimedia attachments
* integrated versioning
* ability to attach any document
* full text search in all documents (and sometimes attachments)




Using a single wiki is almost impossible, so it seems important to be able to run multiple wikis
