Yes, I've been dreaming for a long time after such a system. There is a wiki out there that uses git as backend, I forget the name now. But they need more maturing. As for formatting, you don't want to be too crazy, HTML is powerful but also verbose, a wiki needs terse syntax, and that often comes at the expense of seldom used formatting power. That being said, I agree that it could be done a bit better than what we have now. > The other good thing about our wiki is that it > has very good uptime and performance > (thanks Dimi). Thank you Dan, I'm really glad to see people use it, and they enjoy the experience. My hope is that it will become even better going forward. -- Dimi Paun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Lattica, Inc.
