MediaWiki and SharePoint connection
My company is in process of upgrading the intranet site presently running on SharePoint 2003. As part of this exercise, we are trying to weigh out MediaWiki against SharePoint 2007.
We seem to be heading to a mixture of the two. The main reason why we are not able to rule out SharePoint 2007 is a) File Uploading in MediaWiki isn't that good b) MediaWiki doesn't have features like Calendar, Task List etc., which are needed in our intranet. We could have Wiki as the main backbone, with connections to SharePoint 2007, where needed.
What we are not sure is how effective is the connection between MediaWiki and SharePoint 2007 and whether there are any issues in this interface. Any advice and suggestion from the vast experiences of this community will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Re: MediaWiki and SharePoint connection
Blending Sharepoint and Medaiwiki is a none trivial task. Architecturally they are very different and use very different underlying engines. Depending on your level of integration you are looking for, you may want to consider developing an API to help like across.
You may also consider doing some additional research on extending the capabilities of Mediawiki. I have a Mediawiki instantiation (1.12.0) with a full up calendar, message board, etc. There are also an extension for task list; a good starting point is www.mediawiki.org.
Best of luck!
