[support] current wiki tools in drupal

[Ari Davidow]

Surely you know how to Google[1].  If you had you would have found a

I not only know how to Google, but read those items before posting. And then
went and looked at the modules, themselves and the demo site (which is
referenced in this discussion).

As Shai notes, Googling (and using the drupal.org search, which is where I
started) missed some key elements, which is why, once I had looked at those
pieces, I thought it a good idea to see whether people had more to add.

One of the things that came up in the discussion and through my research is
a reinforcement of the Drupal principle that sites are composites, comprised
of many interlocking modules. So, I'm not looking for a "wiki" module, I am,
instead, refining the functionality that I am specifically looking for, and
then looking at what pieces reinforce that best.

There were enough good points that came up in the discussion that I am
pleased that I posted to the list. (The interface discussion is its own
interesting subject--everyone has the right to their own opinion--and
everyone has one with regard to interface. My own 20 years in the field have
also highlighted how different the way people really use tools is from how
techies think that people use tools. That, of course, would be another
discussion.)
