Hi,
In our Wiki roadmap we are going to move away from Mediawike.
Most important feature missing is compartment authorization and searching in scopes.
About search: the situation is getting better in Semantic MediaWiki world: teams are developing extensions that enable faceted search, where you can refine your search with categories and properties.
What is compartment authorization, I tried to google it but don't understand that yet.
Also too much IT resources are needed for upgrades.
The status of extensions and the compatibility with different versions is unclear and a lot of things do not work smoothly with the Windows platform.
The compatibility and stability of the extensions is the thing that can can change for good this year, I hope. Do you create bugreports about not working features on Windows? Windows is definitely an exotic platform for any php software but I remember that Ontoprise company specialised on MediaWiki-based software that was run exactly on Windows.

Peter Verhoeven

A discussion on wikitech-l you might find interesting.

Hey,
For corporate adoption, the main thing MediaWiki needs is not some
particular feature. It needs to be supported. It needs an organisation with people who will care if corporate users are screwed over by a change. It needs community management, so that the features needed by corporate users will be discoverable and well-maintained, rather than developed privately, over and over. And it needs the smallest nudge of promotion, on top of what Wikipedia fans are doing for it. Say, a nice-looking website aimed at this user base.
This is not something WMF is interested in doing, that has been made extremely clear in the last year.
Agree, I also think this is the main issue, and know other people active with MW outside WMF think the same.
Cheers
