It's not exactly wiki, but Hypernotes and other applications included with M2Web could provide this functionality and have some interesting features and possibilities that go beyond common wikis, including live access to MUMPS data, such as demonstration data from OpenVistA, automatically hyperlinked views of MUMPS source code and customizability to support special vocabularies and contexts of interest, such as that of a Medical Information System or MUMPS programming.
We use a related application within the Computer Services group of the VMTH to keep a shared notes repository supporting hospital operations and the development of VMACS. In this context, common reference items such as patient numbers, account numbers, lab numbers, MUMPS routine names, etc. simply have to be mentioned in a note in order to be automatically hyperlinked. I originally wrote Hypernotes almost 10 years ago as a demonstration of a MUMPS to Web application. I deliberately kept it small and mostly self-contained to make it a reasonable starting point for MUMPS programmers learning to write web applications and a starting point for further development of ideas for supporting web based notes, discussion, bookmarks, etc. Anyone interested in working on this let me know.
