Comment Yeah, Wikis are a perfect replacement (Score 1) 397
Just tell me where I can download a Wiki with the following features:
- integrated PKI, use of symmetric and asymmetric encryption, strong authentication
- integrated workflows, set up in a few minutes
- easily take data offline, synchronize only summaries over a slow GPS line, then fully when in the office
- mail/calender/todo/addresses
- trivial programming language (formula), which allows a non-programmer to customize many things, while having more powerful ways for more complicated applications, too (script, c-api...)
- easy integration of relational backend-data (oracle, db2....) and erp systems
- servers available on many different OSes - you want to set up a cluster with a linux and a zSeries-machine? No problem..
- multi-layer security approach, allowing me to have almost any level of security I want
- while being a proprietary system, implementing all kinds of internet standards (smtp, imap4, pop3, http, ldap, iiop, s/mime, eCalendar, vCard..)
I could continue this list, but I am so sick of this stupid discussion. Whoever wants to replace Notes with a Wiki, should replace Excel with a calculator, and gimp with a painting book. Yes, the UI was really proprietary and strange in many ways, but this has improved a lot (while still being far from perfect of course). A product as powerful as notes/domino will need administrators who now their stuff, and training. Whoever compares Wikis and Notes, should attend a training himself.
