GetWiki 2.0

From the Quicksilver Metaweb.

GetWiki 2.0 is the proposed GetWiki that may contain features designed to support GFDL text corpus management.

See GetWiki 2.0 page for details. These features have been proposed on various Wikinfo talk pages:

• standard wiki URIs to express language and editability in the URI, and ensure that one need only swap domain names to find the parallel article, and also that URIs are easily remembered.
• interwiki link standard to create one lookup hierarchy per language, e.g. the prefix phyle, not a Wikipedia subspace.
• interwiki identity standard possibly based on a jabber.org ID
• explicit faction support to deal with collective and alleged identity, and head off identity theft and identity dispute and remove temptations for outing and framing
• other movement towards a wikitext standard
• other movement towards a semantic web, starting with wiki user pages and the effectively-semantic links between article and author that are hard wired in mediawiki, to very bad effect.

If these features were supported, it would be a much more suitable software suite for Metaweb than Mediawiki, as the latter is dealing mostly with implementing a typical hard security permission-based model and dealing with load problems specific to Wikipedia. Neither of which are our problem.
