[xmlWiki-developers] unique aspects of this project

[Jim K. <ka...@ie...>]

I'm going to play devil's advocate here for a second...  Reviewing the
stories on the wiki whiteboard, why would I not just download one of the
many, many wiki implementations out there (open source, too!), and give that
to the customer?  It seems as though all of our stories would be met using
an existing implementation.  In other words, I think we need stories that
describe what this project is doing different than all of the other wikis.
And I'm very unsure what 'xml' means in this context.  If we're talking
about XML storage, then a significant task will be to develop a useful wiki
schema.  Or we could talk about the stream of information sent to the
browser being in XML, which would open up doors (and more stories) regarding
presentation, but would also exclude many current browsers.

I don't want to sound difficult; I'm just really interested in having this
project introduce some new twists to the wiki idea which will hopefully
catch on.  I think that's what Hugo want, but the stories aren't there yet.

See you guys at eight.

Jim
