Is the wiki syntax going anywhere? Did somebody start

standardize it?
Jimmy posted about this last month. See the thread which starts at
<http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2005-March/028452.html>
where he says Ross Mayfield of Socialtext
(<http://www.socialtext.net/mayfield/index.cgi?action=refcard>) is
also interested in a syntax standardization effort.
A comparison of syntax is at <http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:compare>.
The WikiMarkupStandard WorkingGroup mailing list is at
<http://www.freelists.org/list/wiki>. There were a few posts in March,
but the list is basically inactive.
A RFC from TikiWiki is at <http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=RFCWiki>.
Finally, MeatBallWiki has a page on this at
<http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?WikiMarkupStandard>.
