Mediawiki

[ibamsey]

I am trying to understand if and how the mediawiki integration can be used.

I can structure content in Alfresco by create a content model, no problem. So I can create a model for, say, a software project which dictates a documentation structure. For example I can dictate that a project must have an introduction, that it can have any number of use-case documents and that each use-case can have an associated design document.

I'd like to be able to create each of the documents as wiki pages and I'd like to have all the information stored in Alfresco. I'd like to think I could build an content/index page somehow. I would hope the resulting wiki is presented as a normal wiki.

Can someone explain what the mediawiki / Alfresco integration acheives and if it address my need to create a structured wiki.

Many thanks

P.S. Can I use the Semantic Wiki extensions for media wiki within Alfresco?

We too are looking for a good wiki integration. We had a look at the share/wiki but we think you can hardly call this a wiki-tool.
I was supprised to see Alfresco is trying to develop an inferior wiki instead of indeed making a good integration with tools like media-wiki.

zAgile provides a semantic infrastructure capability to contextually integrate any aspect of the software delivery and IT environment. You can therefore turn any wiki (MediaWiki, Atlassian Confluence, etc.) into a semantic wiki.  So you can capture requirements documents via semantic forms in a wiki.

fill out the request form at http://www.zagile.com , and we can help.  We can even integrate the semantic wiki with Alfresco and the rest of the software delivery environment (eg, testing tools, version control, issue tracking, product specifications, etc.).  In this way, the complete environment is CONTEXTUALLY integrated in a deep, rich way.  This makes it easy to have extreme traceability throughout all of your systems.

Andrew,

Thanks for your offer of help. We too provide a range of IT solutions that can meet your needs in a contextually rich and meaningful way. However, this also has nothing to do with my question.

Thanks,

Ian

So what is the answer here? Is there a viable wiki integration for Alfresco? I've also looked at the "wiki" in version 3 and it is less than ideal compared to just about anything you can point at.

It is hard for me to conceive of how Alfresco can claim a "social" computing platform without having the basics like a robust blogging capability and a robust wiki capability.

Am I missing something? Perhaps I'm just not looking in the right places for documentation…

I would realy like to see a Confluence integration.

My company, Lateral Minds, has built an integration for a client using Confluence and Alfresco Enterprise 3.0.1. We plan to release it as a product fairly soon. Get in touch if you are interested…

The Alfresco to Confluence V2.0 CMIS-based integration will be going into trials at EIGHT large national corporations next week.

Here is a sneak peak, functional feature list, and related video to understand the basics, at a minimum:
