It certainly shouldn't try to be a wiki like MediaWiki. My God! For the record, I don't think the team at WordPress is trying to be a wiki either. The "wiki-like" functionality they've added seems like a nice addition to, what imo, is the best blogging software available. Put simply, describing the new capabilities as a wiki just because they do versioning is somewhat of a stretch, but this does manage to get some attention. Good for them.Some people, including the illustrious Ward Cunningham, have stated that MindTouch Deki barely resembles a wiki. This is true if you consider the original intent of a wiki was to be the simplest web interface to a database that worked. For MindTouch Deki the wiki is just a component: the user interface, which is, I guess one could say, wiki-inspired. Thanks for the nod to MindTouch Deki.
