[Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki & Sharepoint?

[Joshua Yeidel]

SharePoint 2007 differs from SharePoint 2003 in many ways. One important one
is that SharePoint now includes content management features (subsuming the
old Microsoft CMS).  In organizations adopting SharePoint as a Content
Management System (whether for good or ill), it may be that SharePoint
integration will become a survival issue for wikis.

I found the description of Confluence/SharePoint integration at the URL
provided by DanB quite compelling.  It sounds like you could build
SharePoint sites in such a way that Confluence could not be abandoned until
SharePoint was.

P.S.  The SharePoint 2007 "wiki" feature is extremely feature-poor.  It has
page versioning, internal bracket-links, and a WYSIWIG editor, and that's
about it.  Of course, that could change with Service Pack 1...
