Is EditMe a Wiki?
James Farmer is shopping for a wiki and finds EditMe to be a promising choice. I'd agree that it looks like a well designed application, but it its wiki-nature is rather weak. It has a WISYWIG editor, including sophistocated features like table layout, but it isn't obvious how you can create links that will automatically generate new pages, as you often do by using CamelCaps to form WikiWords. It is possible, but I had to drill into the documentation to figure it out, which sorta undermines that intuitive thing.
I just wonder if more "sophisticated" wikis are going to become progressively less wiki-like.
