There are other plain-text wikis, including some with a git or mercurial back-end. http://www.wikimatrix.org/ gives a list of 8: Foswiki, Git-Wiki, Hatta, ikiwiki, KeheiWiki, MoniWiki, PodWiki and TWiki. But just because they use a git or other RCS for a backend, doesn't mean that the Wiki can be worked on from opposite sides of a firewall and then merged easily when the mobile device moves back inside the firewall. Nor does it mean that the WiKi can easily be used on a low-powered device (functions needed there are multi-lingual searching, viewing, editing, syncing of *parts* of the WiKi, according to access controls) Peter C -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
