MediaWiki - Lacks of

The main issue with the Wiki is that it's a generalistic tool. It can do nearly anything, but it's not specialized in anything. So using it to do something alse than creating a collaborative web site can be tricky or take a lot of time to enforce structural conventions. In addition, it requires a good communication on how the structuration has to be done by the end users.

  • Clarity when mixing proposals and amendments on a page
  • Support for translations
  • History on sections of a page (i.e. Amendments and Proposals)
  • Easier way to debate/discuss on amendments and proposals
  • Parliamentary/Legislative/Judiciary specific structures of documents
  • Decision system
  • User-friendliness if your are not a fan of the Wiki tool
  • Seing amendments/questions/discussions in the page flow can be tricky
