Subject: Re: [website-discuss] Priority #5: Deploy a public wiki on
     opensolaris.org

Below is a first pass at a "requirements candidates" list
which is the result of perusing and pulling together:
comments posted on this thread, the generic wiki feature-set
used by wikimatrix.org, and personal leanings resulting from
my (admittedly limited) use of various Wikis.

I'm _very_ much looking for suggestions and other comments,
especially from people who have experience with different
wikis and similar collaborative tools.

Eric
