Wiki

A software forge should integrate a wiki tool, commonly used to capture hosted projects' knowledge base

Wikis should be available on per project base. A project may ideally manage a variable number of wikis, for separate processes, or separate software artefacts of this project, or project's subgroups, for instance.

Why not integrate everything in a single wiki for the whole forge ? : because several wikis may allow complete separation of data for confidentiality reasons (different ACL), and also to provide different lists of recent changes, different RSS feeds, and so on.

In a single wiki, many namespaces may coexist, to structure information.

Wiki tools :

• MediaWiki
  • Mediawiki to docbook discussion [1]
• TWiki (integrated into PicoForge)
• Trac's wiki
• LibreSource's wiki
• PhpWiki (integrated both into GForge and Codendi ?)
  • See InteropWiki
• Asciidoc (Text based document generation) as a wiki alternative [2]
