CoWiki

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

coWiki is a sophisticated but easy to use web collaboration tool that helps you and your co-workers to create and organize web documents, weblogs and knowledgebases or any other document structures directly in their HTML browser. You may evolve ideas and gain a concomitant XML documentation of your brainstorming without having to concentrate on complicated structural syntaxes.

In many senses, it is very like a wiki but additionally provides an easy way to secure and discuss its documents.

A few coWiki features:

Editing of documents (web pages) in an HTML browser. Automatic resolving of document links. Possibility to rename any document at any time without leaving broken links. All links to other documents remain consistant even if you or someone else renames or moves a document. Hierarchical directory/document structure that can be nested as deep as you wish. You do not get lost, the breadcrumb navigation tells you where you are. Unixlike access management with owner/group/world access permissions (and restricted visibility) for each document or directory tree. Document revision management, comparing, colored diff'ing and recovery of documents Documents are parsed to XML for further export/transformation. PDF export is a good idea ... Threaded forums for registered users Plugin support through a defined API. Add your functions to coWiki. Template based and multilingual. Administration backend for complete management of this software and its users. ... and probably a few more things you will like.
