Eugene, (02)
I've also been thinking about this kind of thing. My approach was
to consider that one of the problems with wikis is that any given
page is not really about *one* subject (i.e., the title) but about
potentially many different subjects. It occurs to me to use the
existing Dublin Core DC.subject approach to embed <meta> keyword
content within the wiki pages, then have a harvester build up the
wiki index from that, not simply from the page titles. This would
work pretty well and be easily brought into a Topic Map navigator.
My only problem in implementing such a beast is that I'm already
busy with an entirely different project. The two projects could
meet in the middle, but I don't have the time to begin hacking a
wiki tool right now... (03)
