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#

• 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
