In that case why not use some other wiki software? There are quite a few. See <//http://www.wikimatrix.org/>. If you're willing to jettison all existing wiki data I'm not sure I would recommend MediaWiki for a fresh start. I would in many cases, but not all. In any case, the WMF already have people working on a new parser, and a new GUI editor. If both of those projects reach fruition I would call that 2.0-worthy right there. Also, the new parser should provide us with some means to transition to a different wiki syntax if we think it's a good idea. If we wanted to *really* get radical, then we'd think about changing the storage model too, but you might as well rename it by that point. -- Neil Kandalgaonkar |) <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
