MindTouch Deki Wiki

Great Interface and WYSIWYG

Just take a look at Deki Wiki. Not only is it intuitive and easy to use, it's actually fun! Edit a page. You'll immediately notice that Deki Wiki has a WYSIWYG, or rich text, editor similar to a light-weight word processor. There is no arcane or non-standard markup language. You can copy/paste from office documents or other web pages. Linking is as easy as selecting the text and navigating to the page or attachment you wish to link. You need not memorize the path or learn a new language.

Pages and Files

Creating pages and attaching files is just a click away. Users of Deki Wiki can attach documents and images to individual pages. Images are presented in an attractive image gallery. At a glance you one can see who edited pages or attached files, when it was done, and read a description of the action that is automatically generated or manually provided.

Nothing is ever lost in Deki Wiki. Every edit is tracked and versioned. Users can compare versions of pages. Similarly, file attachments are versioned. When a user links to a file the link will always point to the most recent version of the attached file. Likewise, if a user renames a page all links to this page will be properly maintained.

Permissions

Deki Wiki has one of the most advanced permission systems available. Deki Wiki administrators can make wikis public or private, anonymous or not. There is user groups support. Users can permission entire hierarchies to create private or non-editable workspaces or permission single pages. Deki Wiki has built in support for LDAP, Active Directory, Drupal, Wordpress, and Joomla.

Deki Wiki also allows tagging. Tag folksonomies are wonderfully useful when using systems with multiple users. With Deki Wiki a user can use key word tags, date and time tags, and define tag categories.

As users add content to Deki Wiki the time the content is added is tracked. There are many ways to browse content chronologically. We call these chronologies. Users can follow recent changes chronologically throughout an entire wiki site, on a per page basis, or based on individual users' contributions. This makes it very easy to discover content and track what's going on in the wiki. Date and time tags also provide another way of organizing and finding information chronologically.
