HI all One of the key concepts of a wiki is its easy for everyone to edit. There are various wiki syntaxs - perhaps the most popular being Mediawiki - and all of them have a goal of making it easy for users to write in the specific syntax, without the need to know html.
So, one of the most basic features of a wiki, CMS, and the web, is linking. In Html a user has to write - a - href - the user has to know if it is relative or absolute - link text Its not a lot, but its still too much for non technical people. In a normal wiki a user just writes [[MyExamplePage]] This is so simple that anyone can do it! In XWiki (and I found this out by using the wysiwyg editor) [[MyExamplePage>>doc:MyExamplePage.WebHome]] What is doc? And WebHome? And >>? And whats with the dots, semi colons? As a technical person I can probably figure this out. But there is no way I could sell my management on this. Non technical people will never understand this. And yes, non-tech people can use the wysiwyg. But then why use a wiki? Why not just use a CMS.
