I'm curious, could anything be done to ease the integration of BoltWiki into other systems? Being so lightweight as it is, and being a wiki, I can see some developers would want to integrate BoltWire with a more feature-strong CMS like Joomla or even Wordpress. This is the use case I find myself in at the moment with my own website, but currently stuck with DokuWiki.
Now, to me, the end-user, a 'visual integration' sounds terribly simple. I'm thinking, I copy all that code that makes up the top-menu navigation in the CMS, then I just paste that into the theme of BoltWire and voila! I don't know if that is possible in most cases, and I doubt it. Another problem with this approach, even if it worked, is that you'd have rinse and repeat every time you make a change to your top-menu via the CMS. Some solutions already exist. Joomla! for instance, has JFusion: http://www.jfusion.org (disclaimer: I was a project manager with this project for a while, now I'm just an active user) JFusion can pull another software in under the main CMS, making it appear under the top-menu, even running a scan of sorts to sort out any CSS complications. Still, this probably won't ever do for larger sites, as the multiple calls is too much of a slowdown. Could there be any other way, that could be native to BoltWire and won't require another third-party tool to make it work? You seem like a clever guy so I figured I'd run this one past you ;) I'm thinking something along the lines of going to BW admin panel, go to 'use third- party app for top-nav', select between 'in place of boltwire top-nav' or 'above boltwire top-nav) and there you go. Come to think of it, it'd look much better if you could do the same thing with the footer.
