Yes, the comment from Ben nudged me to think more about the topic.
Here is what I came up with:
=== Vision =
''Providing SourceForge-like infrastructure based on a wiki-like
structure''
Components:
* SourceCode
* Dokumentation
* VersionControl
* ReleaseMechanisms
* TestFramework
* BugTracking
=== Implementation =
Necessary Modifications:
* complete VersionControl with e.g. {{cvs}}
* Export-/¦Importpossibilities for bigger changes in the source
* Handling of bigger amounts of <nowiki> data
** SyntaxHighlighting plus WikiElements in the source
* support deep hierarchies
** flexible resolution of references to other pages
* improved Interfaces to enter content. e.g. MailToWikiInterface
This is a translation from a german Wiki, where I tried to get a first
feedback. <http://www.wikiservice.at/dse/wiki.cgi?WikiAlsIDE>
The usemod-wiki entered unstable a few days ago and seems to provide a
good base for experiments.
Regards, David
