Wocka Wocka Wiki

I'm encouraged to see the NY Times publish an article on Wikis. I haven't looked at Wiki technology in years but I know there's been a flurry of renewed interest ever since the concept of weblogs hit the mainstream.

I've been working on making wikis more reader-friendly. I hacked a little code to Expand wikiwords. Today I tweaked that to avoid expanding short words, which avoids most false splits (WiKi, etc.).

And I switched from the QuestionMark-suffix to square brackets for triggering the creation of a new node. Much nicer, esp when printing, or emailing a page.

Feedback welcomed/sought...
