Really impressed with the latest release of MediaWiki (the software that runs Wikipedia). Just upgraded the Wiki we use at work from 1.9 to 1.12 - the upgrade was pretty much problem free - some new features I’ve found useful:
- Will now email you pages that change on your watchlist - if you give it your email address in the preferences section
- Nice WYSIWYG editor - using the latest FCKEditor Plugin which is now hugely easier to setup (was an absolute pain and a hack to get it working before)
- Discovered the Geshi syntax highlighting - thanks to Lorna’s (from iBuildings) Blog
If you are looking for Wiki software (and don’t have the budget for Confluence - which looks very nice indeed) then check it out - mega easy to install and dead easy to use once you install the FCKeditor plugin (as Wiki text can be a bit of a barrier to adoption). FishEye Setup FishEye this week - if you have SVN or CVS then you have to check this out - has instantly made my life easier - and I think it will really help the growing dev team at AEA too…
