Earnie and others following this thread:
Earnie, your example actually shows the limits of simply Googling. In fact, the liquid wiki project http://drupal.org/project/liquid seems abandonedhttp://drupal.org/node/148904for the moment, which is the one that is mentioned in the Wiki recipe which Google displayed on top.
That doesn't mean that the ideas can't be used and the project taken over. If there is interest in a module that isn't being maintained then there are methods to take over maintenance. Searching google again for ``take over maintenance'' gives a fairly good example of how to go about this.
There is a pretty detailed thread at groupshttp://groups.drupal.org/node/7072which points to more activity being done on the wikitools http://drupal.org/project/wikitools module. Indeed it seems there was a flurry of work on Wikitools in April and there is a D6 version for it.
Limiting to site:drupal.org pulls the groups.drupal.org and lists.drupal.org data as well. I limit to drupal.org because that limits trash hits that look promising but really aren't. Wikitools is another good module.
I have found this thread most helpful and informative and dislike the suggestion that simply Googling could have replaced the helpful discussion here.
Like answer I received asking the same question. Yes, there are a lot of things that we can research before communicating a question and I agree that discussion is helpful after the research has been done.
My own concern is that functionality that would handle issues around simultaneous editing do yet seem to be provided. If people know otherwise, please post.
This point alone is worth discussion. Not just for the wiki instance but anytime there is more than one person that can edit a node. And yet, a google proves that even this is discussed already; see [1] and [2].
