Please don't take this as criticism of web2py or T3. I feel I have to speak out on this even if it makes me unpopular.
The T3 wiki is just not up to the standards of a "real" wiki. It is a facinating example of how much web2py can do with so little coding, but it is not a serious industrial-grade wiki. Why do I say this? -- It lacks the features that make a wiki a wiki, i.e. retention of all edits for all time, automatic or manual hyperlinks to the other content on the wiki, etc. -- It does not "look" like a wiki. It features a large and prominent menu bar for navigation. It uses slow and annoying javascript effects for its menus. Real wikis are based on a few index pages and really good search. They do not use javascript effects or other eye-candy. -- Its articles lack the depth and range of markup I see in other wikis -- but I do not know if this is an inherent constraint of the markup language or just the styles chosen by the writer of the content. There is a strong desire to "eat our own dogfood". That we could develop a full commercial-grade wiki application within web2py and use this as a way of improving the platform. But do be misled into thinking it will be a quick or simple task. I fear we will be committing ourselves to more "axe sharpening" rather than moving forward on the task of documenting. -- Joe B.
