Andy asserts that WordPress is taking on more of a wiki feel and declares that to be goodness. I agree. But then I could flip the coin and use something like DekiWiki. More about which later
Some disagree. In comments, Steven Walling says:
As someone who participates in both a group WordPress blog and wikis, I think the idea that WordPress could ever replace MediaWiki is completely laughable. The movement from the editing function and the public-facing version is far too slow (remember what wiki means?), and it doesn’t have anywhere near the kind of inter-page structure that most wikis need. That’s in addition to the lack of internal linking you already mentioned. WordPress becoming more wiki-like is certainly a cool thing. But a replacement for wiki as we know it? Not happening.
Watch this space. In the meantime, wish me luck as I don the proverbial tin foil hat and set to work upgrading my WordPress implementation.
PS – hmm…maybe I’ll hang back given what Chris Brogan said.
