Thanks for the list. Didn’t even know about the semantics extension until this post and it’s going to be a much better way to organize our new wiki.

Thanks Yaron – great to have the nod from you. I’ve corrected the wording as you suggested (I just had metadata on my mind when I wrote it). I was showing the Semantic Forms to someone yesterday who made the comment “do I still have to use that cryptic Wiki syntax” – when I showed the Semantic Forms, they got a glimpse of the light. I’m really looking forward to the evolution of concepts like Semantic Forms and WYSIWYG extensions as to break down this “cryptic Wiki syntax” barrier that a lot of people have will be sensational. I’ll put drill down on next on my todo list.

Hey, good list – I can’t disagree with most of those selections, though I’m probably biased because I wrote Semantic Forms. By the way, in your description of SF, you say that the autocompletion lists metadata, but really I’d say it just lists data. Other than that, it’s a nice description; thanks. If you’re going to write about MW again, you might also want to check out my other extensions if you haven’t already, especially Semantic Drilldown, which tries to do for the viewing of data what SF does for data entry.
