MindTouch Deki Wiki "Itasca" is the first major release since "Hayes" last June. This is an exciting release because it includes many new features, significant performance improvements, usability enhancements, and a new tool that makes it a lot easier to create data mashups and composite applications. I’ll highlight some key new features in this newsletter, but I encourage you to review the full release notes.

    * Smart link dialog with auto-linking: select text, click link on Editor Toolbar, Deki Wiki will automatically search pages and file attachments to find the most relevant information.

    * Create composite applications and data mashups using a new dialog that gives users access to the more than 100 extensions to applications from Yahoo!, Google, Microsoft, and more! Without knowing how to program users can stitch together services from all over the web or from within their own Intranet to create situational applications and dynamic reports from multiple data sources and applications.

    * SVN, Mantis, Trac, and Atlassian Jira integration coupled with syntax highlighting for 15 programming languages and the capability to show sample code next to executing code makes Deki Wiki the ultimate software development collaboration platform. With Deki Wiki software engineers, testers and project managers are able to connect several systems and organize their everyday work tools in a manner most efficient to them. Take a look at how we’re using this integration at our developer community, OpenGarden. Or review this sample page:


    * Support for Multiple Editors - FCKeditor and TinyMCE. We’re still working out some bugs, but we’re committed to supporting Opera and Safari browsers and both FCKeditor and TinyMCE support these browsers.

    * More than 100 bugs squashed and significantly improved performance
    * Improved OpenLDAP and eDirectory support
    * Internal Group Management
