Incorporating PHP Tools into a Wiki
There are a couple of tools I would like to see as service to be able to incorporate directly into a wiki. One is a simple bulletin board feature (like PHPBB), the other is a time managment utility like ActiTime http://www.actitime.com/
Thes would greatly enhance the ability to use the wiki real time for project management. This would expand the ability to use the wiki service

Inappropriate?There are probably other free tools (PHP and My SQL based) that would incorportate well into wiki sites. The ability to incorporate these tools like the spreadsheet and the calendar are incredibly useful and greatly enhance the utility of the wiki. There are some potential obstacles, the major one I see is that most of the tools use a different login and authetication schema and to be truly useful and integrated would need to have the same schema.
However - the ability to embed something like a time sheet (as in ActiTime) into a wiki page that is for a specfic project means that people working the project could simply go to that page to enter their time and all the work is done centric to the wiki.
I think the folks doing wiki site as a service have a tiger by the tail. Somebody is going to figure out this entire software as a service paradigm and then the rules of software will be changing quite a bit. (BTW - I have been very happy at the responsiveness of the the folks at PBWiki to at least listen to ideas) -
Inappropriate?Well, think of it this way: The happier you are with PBwiki, the more you'll use it, and the more you use it, the happier PBwiki will be :) Sharing your ideas lets us know what you want, and probably what other people want too. So keep 'em coming!
I’m sooooo excited about Version 2.0!
