But then the other wiki aspect is the whole thing is a wiki website (or a build it yourself website).<BR/><BR/>I think there are 2 aspects to wikis, the pages and the website. For example you could have a wiki type website that enables you to add/delete/customise pages/modules, but it may not have HTML wikipages that you can edit. So is this still called a wiki?<BR/><BR/>People like one vendor solutions, and if Confluence, SocialText, and ThoughtFarmer can offer, blogs, RSS, micro-blogs, wikis, etc...in the one solution, then that's clever.<BR/>Awareness, Clearpsace are similar I guess, but they started out as communities rather than wikis, and what about Lotus Connections, they have an integrated component type approach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
