MultilingualWikiSync

Short intro: Version #6 in English is equivalent to version #18 in French. When a wiki page is edited, the other pages need to be updated. How do we handle this for translators and for visitors?


Apparently, no "current wiki engines do not support the efficient creation and maintenance of such content"

This video from the The Cross Lang Wiki project explains it all.

Is simply sending notifications enough?

Well, this doesn't fully address the concerns, but does at least let language-specific page authors know when they need to update a translation (plus it seems like something easy to implement):

  1. Author A creates page Foo in English.
  2. Author B creates page Bar in Spanish.
  3. Pages A and B are specified as translations of each other. As such, any time one page is updated, the owner of the other page receives a "translation notification" (similar to a "watched page" email).

Keywords

The following is a list of keywords that should serve as hubs for navigation within the Tiki development and should correspond to documentation keywords.

Each feature in Tiki has a wiki page which regroups all the bugs, requests for enhancements, etc. It is somewhat a form of wiki-based project management. You can also express your interest in a feature by adding it to your profile. You can also try out the Dynamic filter.
