We'll be discussing over the next couple of days a number of non-features: things that won't be
in the BlogMatrix Platform, at least for the initial release.
Wiki capability is built into the BlogMatrix Platform. In fact, that's
pretty well how we provide our (very low function) CMS capability for the "www" account. However, the initial release of the
BlogMatrix Platform will not be supporting it because:
-
we want a deeper security model, so users can selectively decide who can access their wikis
-
we need better versioning information within each entry; for a blog, this is not so important; to be a wiki, it's very
important. This becomes even more complicated when we start talking about attachments
-
we want to specialize in blogging; there's lots of decent wiki platforms out there, diverting attention to weak wiki
functionality distracts from the core platform
-
we need to understand a number of usability concerns:
-
-
how do templates interact with wikis?
-
how does the sidebar work?
-
how do multiple sections on a page work?
All these issues are solvable, but they're not critical to what we're doing at this point.
