Hi Thomas,
FlexWiki is less ASP.NET like for 2 pages - the default.aspx and
wikiedit.aspx. This is an early implementation of a Model View Controller
(MVC) application. ASP.NET controls have their place and are used throughout
for authentication and administrative support in FlexWiki, but the MVC
implementation allows FlexWiki to be maintainable and flexible. There has
been considerable change in the source code where a proper cache
implementation has been created by Craig Andera. Work is currently ongoing
to revise the the parsing code which when implemented should increase
performance and hopefully allow support for a WYSIWYG edit implementation.
I have implemented a plugin, made possible by the MVC implementation, that
allows injection of scripts and xhtml markup. There have been writeups about
this capability to the maillist. Details are available at [1] below. There
you will see examples of GoogleAds, YouTube integration and use of widgets.
If it is just ads that you are interested in I also created a GoogleAd
plugin. This is more secure than the generic FleXhtml plugin.
FlexWiki is also working on a skinning demonstration where an admin is able
to use xhtml markup to supplement the borders. You can see and early view of
this at [2].
The Title property was implemented in FlexWiki long ago to allow search
engines to see a normal name for a topic. Additionally there is a property
'Keywords' that is output on the page in metatags to improve search engine
optimization (and it works well when used).
If there are any microformats that you feel should be supported at this
time, please let me know as they can easily be included in the parser. If
you are interested in the technical capabilities of the future parser you
can see a prototype as it is being developed at [3]
