Re: MediaWiki?
by MK on Wednesday 09/Mar/2005, @13:03

Not sure what the previous poster meant exactly, but for me the current KDE wiki (twiki?) looks much more confusing than the average mediawiki equivalent. Currently it looks like a combination of a forum / discussion board and a place to write about KDE. Additionally there are polls, number of online users and so on. In short: the current start page looks completely overloaded.

Also note that the syntax differs from the mediawiki syntax. Mediawiki, the software used for Wikipedia is probably by far the most known wiki syntax. This means that most persons who edit a wiki probably know the mediawiki syntax and it would make it a lot easier for them if they do not have to relearn a new syntax. Last time I checked I even had problems finding the "watchlist" equivalent of mediawiki. Furthermore I am not sure what support the current wiki engine has for multiple languages. The mediawiki engine is designed to support more than one language and allows interlanguage links.

Despite the critics a big thanks to Luci for his work!

Re: MediaWiki? -- a job for konq?

It would be nice to have an option in Konq to have a wsiwyg replacement for textarea. For example, we could specify that a textarea of a certain name, on a certain domain, is for editing media-wiki style, and have the wysiwyg editor accordingly. (have it working for the most popular ones: BBcode, MediaWiki, TWiki etc...)

I believe the textarea is the most frustrating HTML widget, it would be nice to have option to make it more useable. (ie, the wisywig editor, kgpg integration for webmail, etc...)

Support in Konqi for the features required by http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/example.php?example=true would be very cool, too (not wiki-related, but still wysiwyg). I don't know the details why this doesn't work in Konqi at the moment, it currently only works with the usual suspects: Mozilla, MSIE and FireFox.
