On the other hand, I see other endeavor to standardize wiki markup outside the WikiMedia community. I mean wikiCreole in WikiSym2006 and WikiModel from sourceforge. After taking a quick look, I just want to know what make wikiCreole different? Is it an endeavor to standardize wiki markup, or it is simply just another wiki markup?
It *aimed* to standarize wiki markup, but by creating another markup with what they considered "fancy". Ie, things like being EBNF wasn't considered on designing it so there're rules like "// toggle italics except if it appears as part of a url". OTOH it has a set of rules defining the grammar, which is always good, albeit wikicreaole is smaller and much less powerful than mediawiki's markup.
