A Leopard with a wiki

in General

Al Wood pointed me to details about the upcoming Mac operating system code named Leopard. From the blurb:

Leopard Server includes a Wiki Server to make it easy for teams to create and distribute information through their own shared Intranet website….
Once you create a Wiki website and give access to members of the workgroup, everyone will have the same capability to contribute to the site. And it’s not limited to just text and images — you can also access a group calendar to track meetings and deadlines or send messages to a mailing list to keep others informed. There is a blog feature that’s perfect for brainstorming or commenting on work. And there’s an option for subscribing to a podcast — so if anyone missed that important conference call they can catch up on the news.

What a surprise! If you want managed wiki in a Windows environment then you need Sharepoint as well as the Windows server. In other words, you need to spend more.

OS X server has been well known for years to provide a complete server system. Some of the other features for the next release include inbuilt Ruby On Rails support and an extensive recording/distribution system for podcasters.

This is actually extremely interesting. I guess one question I still have about Apple is about their penetration in the corporate server space... but this is a very nice feature that I hadn't been aware of. I'm intrigued to know what the underlying technology is.

Of course, Leopard (client) also includes Ruby on Rails, I believe.
