I found one central concept of Wikis very insufficient: wikiwords http://www.vendian.org/parrot/wiki/bin/view.cgi/TWiki/WikiWord A wikiword is a way to explicit create a link without the hassle of creating an HTML anchor. The idea should be taken further to avoid even thinking to make a link. One would register simple words (VM, PMC, coroutine...) as page topic and, for each page, the wiki would automatically link the first occurence of each registered word to the page created for this word. Linking each occurence would clutter the page. This improvment would not replace wikiwords but would supplement them. I don't know how difficult it would be to do. -- stef > > Mitchell > > [1] At a minimum, this will help accumulate material for the coming > update of www.parrotcode.org.
