Hi,
Compartment authorization means that some content is only accessible by a specific group of authorized employees. In the Windows world ADS Groups are used for this. Also see http://www.gilyehuda.com/2009/09/25/mediawiki-limits-e20/ why currently Mediawiki is not the best solution for enterprises.
A former colleague of me has reported a bug related to FCK Editor in 2008, but a fix was never find (http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/2586).
BTW: We were successful using Mediawiki for describing ways of work in departments and disciplines. But we now also see employees moving towards SharePoint and request for better integration of the Wiki platform with SharePoint.
So if you asked me the top of features for using Mediawiki in the enterprise: - Compartment authorization (article, category, namespace, wiki). - Support for search scopes. - SharePoint integration. - Support for easy setup of new Wiki's (like you create a site in SharePoint). - Easy upgrade to newer versions.
Regards Peter Verhoeven

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.

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
