We're beginning to describe a Drupal project that we feel is "wiki-ish" and I am thoroughly confused as to what would be needed to implement a "wiki" using drupal. It looks like wikitools provides some filters to translate between wiki markup and regular html, but for our purposes, that is the piece we care about least. (We intend to use tinyMCE or equivalent for markup--the users of this project will not be any happier with wiki markup than with html.)
So, what makes a page a wiki? We are thinking of a few primary elements:
1. The ability of any registered user to edit the page in a browser. (Note: Any registered Drupal user with appropriate permissions can do this with any Drupal page, as well.)
2. The ability to view the page's history and to roll back changes easily. (This may also be built into Drupal?)
3. The ability to create a new, blank page by creating a link to it.
Are we really just talking about a standard Drupal book? When other people say 'wiki,' to what more are they referring (or is the "what more" wiki markup language?)
