In fact there are even applications for issue management that <em>actually are just a wiki<\/em>. Well now, I think that it may be useful to try to clarify <strong>what is the usefulness of work management software<\/strong>. It must be something that makes you work better; it&#8217;s quick to insert the essential work data, and that done, it <strong>does a lot of work for you<\/strong>. Inserting work data in a Wiki just doesn\u2019t give any specific support. A Wiki is meant as a tool to manage a documentation body contributed by several people; that is just not what work management is about; and using the wrong software for the just, will just increase confusion in your company, make people frustrated and make them waste more time. Wrong software, sorry.<\/p>\n<h2>Implementing a Wiki engine<\/h2>\n<p>This does not mean that the Wiki\u2019s logic can\u2019t inspire some really good ideas that can be included in any kind of software. This is the perspective that we\u2019ve taken on the \u201cWiki integration\u201d subject, and there are many subtle problems involved, like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> If you want to write contents with links to objects, it would be nice to have a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Representational_State_Transfer\" target=\"_blank\">RESTful<\/a> API in Teamwork in order to write links simply<\/li>\n<li>Should we use the <a title=\"tiny mce\" href=\"http:\/\/tinymce.moxiecode.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">TinyMCE<\/a> editing which we started using in some places (and users are pushing for more), or switch to Wiki syntax in contents?<\/li>\n<li>Up to today documents are typically linked in Teamwork, but contents lives outside (and this is generally a <a title=\"Teamwork documents\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twproject.com\/documents.page\" target=\"_blank\">wise choice<\/a>), but with this extension it should become really nice to write contents in Teamwork for specific projects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Given the deep integration of the Wiki features and Teamwork&#8217;s, we are building our own Wiki engine; its persistence is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hibernate.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hibernate based<\/a>, and there is none available that does that, so this may become of general interest.<\/p>\n<p>One of the considerations that convinced us to write it from scratch is that several Wiki applications functionalities are already available in Teamwork, often more refined than those built in Wikis. Like full text search, subscriptions and e-mail integrations and recent pages.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to suggest some particular feature of the Wiki integration, you can post it on the <a href=\"http:\/\/feedback.twproject.com\" target=\"_blank\">feedback service<\/a> (yes, we do check it out).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The meaning of &#8220;adding a Wiki&#8221;
