== Current wiki engine ==
This wiki is currently using Moinmoin wiki engine ([[http://moinmo.in]]). Major changes to the wiki are listed in [[DebianWiki/History]].

=== The current configuration ===
 * See SystemInfo
''ToDo: list the features that are specifically enabled or disabled on this wiki''

<<Anchor(features)>>
== Features ==
Here's an incomplete list of features __currently__ in use on this wiki :
 * revision control,
  * Diff between pages.
 * RSS syndication,
 * email notification,
 * Antispam
 * multiple categories,
 * code beautification plugins (highlighting)
 * "Include" Macro
 * Possibility to update a page with a batch [[TopicDebianDevel]]
 * Attachments
  * Upload attachments
  * No revision (Yes, this is a feature: it limit administration burden, against file spamming)
  * Disaply attachment inline
 * Export doc !DocBook format (to generate PDF, etc..)
 * Unicode/I18n
 * Built-in search Engine
 * Public search engine support :
  * Control what is indexed.
  * Provide a "recent changes feed" so google index new pages properly.
  * User pages are "no-index,no-follow" by default, so spamming incentive is low.
 * Possibility to easily generate a table from a shell script
 * Full history of pages contributions/contributors, which is required for license/copyright.
  * When switching to a new wiki, the migration script should migrate the contributors accounts, at least the names and email addresses.

Wishlist:
 * possibility to edit "page section".
 * Better internationalization support (esp. translation: track revision, notify translator, etc...).
 * Synchronise/merge a page of another wiki (Debian derivatives)
 * Preview diff, before saving the page.
 * Authentication: allow signing with DD and alioth credential (!OpenId...)
 * Separate namespace for users homepages
 * Export of wiki contents, allowing for [[DebianWiki/Browsing#offline|offline browsing]]

== Candidate alternative wiki engines ==
List the killer features of alternatives wiki engines.

=== Inyoka ===
 * On the long run: Inyoka, you can see it on [[http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Startseite]].

=== Joomla with Wiki-extension ===
See: ([[http://www.webhostingart.com/blog/wiki-systems-for-joomla.html]])

 * Available now: Joomla with WikiBot
Reason: WikiBot bridges Joomla with the free encyclopedia Wikipedia. Words can be tagged in Joomla content to link to related articles in the encyclopedia. This tool makes it extremely convenient to bridge content on your Joomla site to the large Wikipedia database.

          
 * or: Joomla with OpenWiki
Reason: OpenWiki provides a bridge to encapsulate the PHP application DokuWiki within the Joomla system. It features a complete ACL implementation that builds on the Joomla ACL for groups such as Super Administrator, Administrator, Manager, Author, Registered, and Public. ACL permissions include create, edit, read, upload, and delete.


=== !MediaWiki ===
 * Better categories handling
 * Separate namespace for users homepages

Line 4: Line 72:
The DebianWiki engine has changed from ["Kwiki"] to TwikiTwiki.

But I suggest change to [http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net MediaWiki]. With MediaWiki we can manage more easily categories, pages in different languages (the interwiki links) and so on.
