Leopard Wiki Rant
I just went through the trouble of setting up the wiki server on my tester leopard server that is in Advanced mode connected to an AD environment and I'm seriously disappointed by the Wiki service that is built into Leopard. Although the management of it was straight forward, it is incredibly limited and can't even come close to comparing with my current DokuWiki solution.
1. Why wouldn't Apple have made the Wiki server work with all of the major web browsers. The wiki pages clearly work best in Safari with IE7 being second in my testing. IE7 is horribly slow and nearly unusable for typing new content onto a wiki page through editor. I'm running Mozilla Firefox 3 beta 4 on my MacBook Pro running 10.5.2 and I couldn't even get the login button to work with it. Apple.... I understand that you like stylish, but please make it useable.
2. Wikis need to be able to take advantage of all the screen space you have and it is ridiculous that Apple's page layouts are fixed width. All wikis that I have ever used are flexible width.
3. The table editor is the most important feature to me in a wiki for keeping track of data and sharing it with others in an easy to read format, but the editor and lack of page width made this unusable for me.
I can clearly see now after hassling through 10.3, 10.4 and now 10.5 server what Apple is thinking. Apple is only maintaining OS X to be a companion to Windows server environments where certain things like an AFP server, OD group/computer management, software updates, xgrid, quicktime server, etc. are needed. I'm sure that Apple even admits to themselves that any serious users with even somewhat serious needs should be using Exchange, Sharepoint, and possibly another wiki server like Media Wiki (or the hundreds of others that are available and better than Apple's).
