Hi,

 

In our Wiki roadmap we are going to move away from Mediawike.

Most important feature missing is compartment authorization and searching in scopes.

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.

Regards,

Peter Verhoeven

A discussion on wikitech-l you might find interesting.

Hey,


For corporate adoption, the main thing MediaWiki needs is not some

Agree, I also think this is the main issue, and know other people active
with MW outside WMF think the same.
