History: Ideal future wiki software
Source of version: 3
__Title: Ideal wiki software__
__Issue: Future wiki design and features__
__What happened:__
Brainstorming. Many items were outlined on the board by Martin Cleaver. Photos were taken of these outlines. Here is a compressed summary by one participant.
* touch based ; virtual reality ; gestures ; mobile-enabled
* social networking ; chat facilities ; real time collab editing ; communications that look like communications
* expert-finding, maybe derived mechanically
** simul view of the communication and the page in common
** granular communication ; microblogging on this <==> knowledge management
* natural language ; speech ;
* graphical objects ; image editing
* kinzler: data & tables ; graphs ; i ask for derived statistics.
* learning from user behavior in the system
* cross-wiki content ; search ; federated
* attribute each word/section to authoring user ; branch table ; branching and merging
* workflow tracking/definition
* views of past versions (wayback machine) ; smart versioning
* collaborative edit patrolling
* what's painful? tables and structured data
* scripting of interactive things
* complex semantics with changes in form/design/structure
* "content modeling"?
* Eugene!! EEKim! that's the fellow here.
* smart granular addressability -- linking to a sentence, given the problematic issue of updated
* ways to invite new users into micro-projects / tasks. or to thank them for fixing things. define tasks lists more nicely.
* barnstars (awards) integrated into the system not hidden on a page somewhere. -- maybe earning trust and seeing own trust score.
* a trust score or usefulness score -- how much did people read a user's stuff. *** very encouraging, for some users
Tangential break period, filling a page with buzzwords -- didn't catch why, but maybe to exhaust them from the audience theraputically ("cathartic"), clear the air, then get back to focused specifics
* smart merging
* when viewing a wikipedia page, notification of smart content on the other language wikipedias on this topic -- e.g. for deep historical resarch noting many sources cited
* smart citation collection / joining
* sophisticated strict grammar and parser
* problem: management of existing extensions. related Q: what extension systems work well? several say "WordPress"
* EEKim says JSPwiki has a "good" design and a "real" parser with a formal token-based grammar and it's not clear if there are any other wiki softwares that do
* EEKim says SocialText software has more social features, well-integrated
* Erik Moller says wikia has user pages which automatically incorporated
There is a discussion of how to quickly implement any of these.
