MindTouch Deki Wiki is the first and only OSI-approved commercial open source wiki.

Deki means smart in Japanese. Combine that with the Hawaiian wikiwiki, meaning fast and quick, and you get DekiWiki in a nutshell: The smartest, fastest, most sophisticated and advanced open-source wiki application available today.

Deki Wiki was developed with an emphasis on open standards, extensibility, and performance. It began as a MediaWiki fork and has since become something significantly more than just another Wiki. It facilitates information sharing in a contextually rich environment, has a very polished WYSIWYG Editor, allows the capture and sharing of files, which are indexed and searchable, and stores in XHTML. Indexing is done with Lucene, AJAX is employed where appropriate, and data is completely portable.

What is MindTouch Dream?

MindTouch Dream is a RESTfull distributed application framework developed in Mono/.NET. With Dream, a Web service is similar to an object, and features interact through standard HTTP verbs. This design allows the developer to assume an “idealized” world where everything a service comes into contact with is accessed through Web requests. The Dream service library addresses common problems, and the Dream runtime orchestrates all interactions without requiring a Web server to be pre-installed on a target machine. Dream avoids unnecessary abstractions and overhead for services by providing direct access to the rich, distributed application capabilities of HTTP. It can be embedded into existing web-application frameworks or operate independently.

MindTouch Dream manages all the complex aspects of interactive web services, such as providing storage locations, database connections, event notifications, automatic data conversion from XML to JSON and short-circuit communication for co-hosted services. The platform enables developers to create enterprise-ready service architectures with exceptional speed and ease.
